Abstract: The UK is experiencing increasing impacts from climate change, including more frequent and severe floods, heatwaves and storms. It needs to prepare more for these impacts. It also needs to honour its pledge to support climate adaptation efforts in developing countries. The UK should maximise the opportunity from an increase in the demand for adaptation goods and services, including flood defences, climate-resilient building materials and crops, innovative insurance products and treatments for vector-borne diseases, both at home and globally. There is an economic, social and environmental imperative to scale up and innovate in adaptation-related goods and services, especially in those areas where the UK has an existing and potential comparative advantage.
