answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2017 answer text <p>Adaptation is embedded as an integral part of policy making across Defra and all levels of Government, and within a broad range of programmes and activities that directly or indirectly support and build the UK’s resilience to climate change. It is, therefore, not possible to provide an estimate of the total amount of resource applied to support our National Adaptation Programme objectives across all of those policies, programmes and activities.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 18/01/2017 11:39:46 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2016 answer text <p>The Government currently has no plans to undertake a comprehensive study into the potential cost of climate change to the UK economy. The <em>Stern Review: the Economics of Climate Change</em>, an independent review commissioned by the then UK government and published in 2006, established the relationship between increasing global greenhouse gases emissions and higher costs due to the impacts of climate change. There are large uncertainties associated with this type of assessment, but the overall conclusion is that the benefits of strong, early action to avoid climate change considerably outweigh the costs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s focus is therefore on the implementation of cost-effective actions to reduce the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions and to ensure that the UK and its economy are resilient to unavoidable changes in the climate.</p><p> </p><p>As required under the UK Climate Change Act 2008, we will publish our second Climate Change Risk Assessment next year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 25/11/2016 09:39:11 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2016 answer text <p>Defra has not undertaken a quantitative assessment of the economic impact of climate change for the UK.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to understanding and tackling the risks and opportunities of climate change for the UK. We will publish our second Climate Change Risk Assessment in January next year. The underpinning evidence report compiled by the Adaptation Sub-Committee to the Committee on Climate Change was published in July this year. The assessment of the urgency of climate risks includes consideration of the current and potential costs of impacts to the UK where that information exists.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 21/11/2016 17:55:09 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
