The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make it his policy to strengthen the National Adaptation Programme.

Answered by Emma Hardy

Alongside delivering a new National Adaptation Programme we are committed to strengthening the nation’s resilience, and we are considering a range of options to better embed climate adaptation across the whole of Government. This includes:

  • further work to assess and strengthen the framework of objectives
  • Improving our governance and monitoring of progress
  • And a renewed focus on translating evidence into action

We will have more to say on this strengthened approach to climate change adaptation in due course.
