UK climate monitors say labor is enabling people, the economy and the environment to increase danger by failing to act on the impact of the climate crisis.

Due to the increasing severity of climate rupture, flooding, drought and heat waves, however, in a harsh assessment of UK preparations, current plans to protect personnel, land and infrastructure from extreme weather are considered insufficient.

Mrs. Brown, the president of the Climate Change Committee (CCC), the Adapted Subgroup by the Government’s Statutory Adviser, said: “Despite the fact that … the current approach is clearly not working for the public.

She said it was frightening that the government did not take the rapid increase in the risk of flooding seriously, but instead considered reducing flood control.

The Ministry of Finance said flood spending will not be corrected and can be reduced during the June expenditure review.

"If that means they are considering cutting funds for the resilience of the flood, we'll ask them to think about it again. I can't say clearly about our message: We can't wait to take action. It's not tomorrow's issue. It's today's issue. If we don't do something about it, it's going to be a disaster tomorrow."

She noted that the Valencia floods killed 220 people in October and caused floods in Germany and Belgium in 2021, with similar deaths. "These things are very close to home. These things can happen in the UK and we need the government to recognize that this is a disaster that may happen tomorrow and start to really take that seriously," she said. "The evidence we have is very scary."

The CCC found that the impact of the climate crisis could undermine 7% of UK GDP by 2050, amid increasing growth that makes the UK's infrastructure and economy more resilient to extreme weather. By contrast, reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050 is a cost of 0.2% per year.

The CCC's latest two-year assessment of progress in climate change adaptation, published Wednesday, found that measures, from transportation and energy to communications, and every form of infrastructure have failed. The report found that due to inability to adapt, people's health is at risk and their natural environment is compromised.

The report found that by 2050, one-quarter of properties will face the risk of flooding unless urgent action is taken, up from about 6.3 million properties today. More than a third of railway and road networks are already at risk of flooding, which will increase to half by 2050.

More than half of England's highest-quality agricultural land is already at risk of flooding, and last year's harvest (the second worst harvest is recorded) may become more common.

Although many of the findings in the CCC assessment are related to the measures taken by the previous administration, Brown said Labour has failed to respond to the threat. “We don’t think the action has increased,” she said.

The Environment Agency warned last year that inflation is swallowing up flood defense budgets, meaning fewer people are protected by the same spending. The National Audit Office warned that one in four new flood defense projects were abandoned.

A government spokesman said: “As part of our change plan, we are investing a record £2.65 billion to repair and build flood control, protect thousands of homes and businesses and help local communities become more resistant to excessive drought and the effects of drought and drought and drought.”

Floods were the most obvious impact of the UK's climate crisis, but rising temperatures also caused huge losses. Drought means 20 million people are confined by water, and wildfires surpass the fire brigade’s ability to put them out – areas burning in 2025 even surpassing the annual record before the start of summer – and heat waves are expected to become more frequent and intense.

The climate crisis has already made the NHS impose costs. The CCC found that over 3,000 people died in England during the 2022 heat wave, with one in five doctors reporting that the surgery and surgery had been cancelled.

Philip Evans, a senior climate activist at Greenpeace in the UK, said: "British firefighters and insurance companies have warned that we are not set to deal with the increase in floods, wildfires, wildfires and heat waves. Now climate experts confirm that this is not getting better and better. This means our farm is in the water, our farm is in the water, food prices are rising, families are in the trouble, and the expense is at the cost.

He called for taxes on fossil fuel companies to pay for the required preparations. "The government must strengthen the resilience of the UK. Oil and gas companies are fueling this extreme weather and promoting climate taxes on these profits for billions of dollars in development to cover adaptation measures and protect us from the extreme costs of weather chaos."

Tom Lancaster, the head of land, food and agriculture for the energy and climate intelligence, called on ministers to remove cuts to sustainable agricultural plans. The ECIU estimates that the impact of the climate crisis has increased £360 on total household food bills in 2022 and 2023.

“Investment (sustainable agriculture support programme) is needed to build resilience in UK food production and will be a key test of whether the government is criticized in this report,” he said.
