Closed petition Set up a task force to consider how the UK could thrive in a warmer climate

Closed on 17 July 2022

To urgently set up a task force to identify actions that could enable the UK to thrive in a warmer climate, so these can then be implemented. Measures could include increased water storage and additional investment in dealing with rising sea levels.

We know the climate is changing and this is going to impact on all aspects of life around the world. If we don't start to take steps now to mitigate these effects, life in the UK (particularly in the south) may be very uncomfortable. At the moment the focus seems to be on trying to reduce CO2 emissions enough to solve the problem. We believe this is insufficient, and a prudent government should plan in advance and not wait to the last minute.
