Climate Change

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department plans to respond to the International Panel on Climate Change's report entitled Climate change 2014: Impacts, adaption and vulnerability.

Answer

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group II report makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the impacts of, and adaptation and vulnerability to, climate change. We are considering it with keen interest and will take full account of it when we publish the UK's next Climate Change Risk Assessment in 2017, which in turn will inform the next National Adaptation Programme report.
