We will consider the report’s findings as we develop a third National Adaptation Programme which addresses all 61 risks and opportunities identified in the Government’s third Climate Change Risk Assessment.<strong> </strong>Climate adaptation is mainstreamed across Government, which means that all Government policies and programmes need to consider the risks that climate change poses to their successful delivery and outcomes.</p><p>We also welcome the Climate Change Committee’s latest report “investment for a well-adapted UK”, and the Government assessed the recommendations. The recently published Green Finance Strategy sets out plans to build a launchpad for private and public collaboration over the next 5 years to overcome barriers to investment and assist in the functioning of news markets. We will announce our approach alongside our climate adaptation finance deliverables and action plan by end of 2024.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 04/04/2023 15:59:38 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

	tabling member printed	Lord Pearson of Rannoch
	uin	HL4583
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2023 answer text <p>The UK Government has not assessed the cost to the UK of following the advice of the World Climate Declaration. The IPCC does not make specific policy recommendations or directly advise governments so it is not possible to make an assessment of the costs of their advice. The IPCC's assessments are used on an ongoing basis to inform government decision making, including the HMT Net Zero Review, published alongside the Net Zero Strategy in autumn 2021. This analysed the costs and benefits of the transition and showed that the costs of global inaction significantly outweigh the costs of climate action.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 23/01/2023 17:56:55 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

The OBR’s unmitigated warming scenario showed debt spiralling up to over 130 per cent of UK GDP by 2050 and around 290 per cent by the end of the century as a result of the cost of adapting to an ever hotter climate.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 08/12/2023 07:43:05 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
