answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2023 answer text <p>UK marine and coastal areas are being impacted by climate change, including through sea level rise. These impacts have consequences throughout the UK on livelihoods, ecosystems, communities and society.</p><p> </p><p>In the UK we are committed to ensuring that climate change adaptation, resilience and mitigation are fully considered and integrated in our policies. Under the Climate Change Act, government committed to laying policies and proposals before parliament to address risks identified by the third Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA3). It will do so through the third National Adaptation Programme (NAP), due to be published in 2023.</p><p> </p><p>Through the Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership (MCCIP) we are also improving our understanding of the impact of climate change and rising sea levels. MCCIP engages with a wide range of scientific authors to supply policy makers and the public with updates on the current and predicted impacts of climate change.</p><p> </p><p>As climate change leads to sea level rise and more extreme rainfall, the number of people at risk from flooding and coastal erosion is likely to grow. The Government announced in March 2020 a record £5.2 billion investment over 6 years in flood and coastal erosion schemes to better protect communities across England. In July 2020, the government published a long-term Policy Statement, which sets out our ambition to create a nation more resilient to future flood and coastal erosion risk.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 30/05/2023 14:16:41 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2023 answer text <p>The Government’s indicators of the abundance of UK butterflies show that since 1976, populations of habitat specialists have declined significantly, though species of the wider countryside show no significant change. Since 2014, both trends show no significant change. We are keeping these trends under review as encouraging but not yet definitive signs of progress.</p><p> </p><p>Butterflies are important pollinators. We are taking action alongside many partners to implement the National Pollinator Strategy’s provisions as recovering the numbers of declining pollinator species is a priority for this government. In England, we have set a legally binding target to halt the decline in species abundance by 2030 and action towards this target includes specific action which will help butterflies. We are restoring and creating habitat for wild and managed pollinators to thrive; addressing pressures including by supporting Integrated Pest Management (IPM); raising awareness across society so that people can take action themselves; and supporting monitoring and research.</p><p> </p><p>To strengthen our pollinator evidence base we work closely with leading academics and have introduced a national pollinator monitoring scheme across the whole of the UK, with trend estimates published annually as official statistics. Trends in the abundance of butterflies are also reported in the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/england-biodiversity-indicators" target="_blank">England</a> and <a href="https://jncc.gov.uk/our-work/ukbi-c6-insects-of-the-wider-countryside/" target="_blank">UK</a> biodiversity indicators, based on data collated through the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS).</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 30/05/2023 14:14:44 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
