Hot weekend ahead

- Sandra Laville

Schools, care homes and offices are not equipped for the effects of global heating and face lengthy heatwaves even in optimistic scenarios, according to a groundbreaking report that calls for urgent national action to improve climate resilience.

The report by the UK Green Building Council also predicts that cities and towns including Peterborough and Fairbourne in Gwynedd will be uninhabitable by the end of the century because of flooding.

Produced over two years, the roadmap sets out a blueprint for action and warns that without the adaptation of millions of buildings, there will be increased injury, health impacts, deaths and untold economic damage.

Five key threats are examined by the roadmap: overheating, wildfires, flooding, drought and storms.
