The UK is at risk of missing the “window of opportunity” to prepare the country’s infrastructure for the effects of climate change, the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) and Climate Change Committee (CCC) have warned. The two organisations have urged ministers to urgently develop more effective plans to improve the resilience of infrastructure, in a joint letter sent to deputy prime minister Oliver Dowden and environment secretary Thérèse Coffey. They warn that not doing so puts the country’s infrastructure at risk.
