<p>The Government published its Third National Adaptation Programme (NAP3) (see attached)
in July 2023. This marked a step-change in the Government’s approach to climate adaptation,
putting in place an ambitious programme of decisive action for the next 5 years to
address each of the 61 climate risks and opportunities in its Third Climate Change
Risk Assessment.</p><p> </p><p>NAP3 builds on our work already underway to provide
an improved and more resilient infrastructure, greener economy, and sustainable food
production. For example, we are responding to environmental threats to domestic food
production through our Environmental Land Management farming schemes, protecting hundreds
of thousands of homes with a record-breaking £5.2 billion investment in flood and
coastal schemes, and safeguarding future water supplies by working with regulators
to accelerate £2.2 billion of investment through our ambitious Plan for Water.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government will continue to monitor its progress on adapting to climate
change both internally through a new, senior officials Climate Resilience Board, and
externally by the Climate Change Committee’s (CCC’s) reports to Parliament. The Government
published its response to the CCC’s latest report in October 2023.</p>
