Welsh Assembly Government Consultation on Adaptation Plan to Climate Change
Closing date is 27th April 2007
There is no denying that climate change will have serious consequences for people and the environment across the world.
Action must be taken now to cut emissions of the greenhouse gases that are causing climate change or the world will have to face even more severe impacts in the future. At the same time action must be taken to adapt to the changes already underway. Decades of change are already built into the climate system as a result of previous emissions – the response to these changes must begin now.
These changes will affect, to a lesser or greater extent, every aspect of our lives and adaptation measures will need to be integrated across organisations and policy areas. The UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) climate change scenarios are based on different projections of future emissions.
Under three broad themes, the Adaptation Action Plan consultation outlines the impacts that we can expect as a result of climate change, which sectors they will affect and what is being done about them already. These themes are:
• Increased temperatures.
• Pressure on water resources.
• Increased risk of flooding and extreme weather events.
