| Summary: | The weather already significantly affects economic activity. As the climate changes, all sectors of UK business will be faced with preparing for a range of new threats and opportunities. This report presents an overview of climate change impacts and adaptation for business. It is aimed at business managers as well as those in businessfacing organisations and is based on UKCIP’s practical experience. Following the headline messages in Section 1, Sections 2 and 3 present the climate change projections and a summary of impacts. Section 4 then uses this information to build a business case for adaptation. Section 5 provides some advice for companies just starting out, as well as for those a bit further on. Real business case studies illustrate key points. |
