CCC Publish 4th Report - A Well Adapted UK
21 May 2026
Under the UK’s Climate Change Act, the UK Government must assess climate risks every five years. The Climate Change Committee has a statutory responsibility to provide independent advice on these risks to inform the UK Government’s assessment and is tasked with compiling the evidence on climate risks. This report, and the accompanying CCRA4-IA Technical Report, do that. For the first time, the Committee is offering advice on potential solutions to address these risks. While this statutory responsibility is to the UK Government, the Committee hopes this report will provide evidence to support action by the governments of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, who helped to commission it. The report can also be useful to other organisations focused on action to adapt to climate change.
The FPC have contributed to the content of this Report, along with some of their members, and it is the hope that Government are able to use the information in a way that instigates action and meaningful change.
