Defra spent £8.3 million in 2013-14 under its core adapting to climate change programme. This included £4.1 million to the Met Office Hadley Centre for the provision of world-leading climate science, and £1.6 million to the Environment Agency's Climate Ready support service to help organisations across England adapt to a changing climate. Adaptation is mainstreamed across Government. Other departments and other Defra programmes also fund activities that build resilience to climate change.<\/p>
