Climate change

Climate change in the UK will bring:

  • Hotter, drier summers
  • Milder, wetter winters
  • More frequent storms, high winds, heatwaves
  • Less frequent cold snaps
  • Rising sea levels

Over the next few decades these changes are unavoidable. Adaptation to climate change means taking steps towards understanding and preparing for the impacts these changes will bring.

These web pages will help business advisors provide useful advice and accurate information to SMEs on climate change impacts and adaptation.

SMEs are a broad audience, so this resource is designed to be flexible, accessible and concise with links to more indepth information where required. It covers some of the key concepts as well as providing delivery materials and a range of factsheets that can be given directly to businesses.
