‘Adapt or die’: resilience to climate change needed, says Environment Agency

Ahead of the UN Cop26 climate talks in Glasgow, the government agency is warning that adaptation - becoming resilient to the already inevitable effects of climate change - is just as important as actions to cut greenhouse gases.
