Present and the future danger of climate crisis

It feels like we aren't making fast enough progress in the fight against climate change - are we doing enough?

The effects of climate change are no longer just possibilities - they're a present and growing reality for millions of people across the UK.

That's why a new report from the Independent Climate Change Committee, which says the Government isn't doing nearly enough to slow climate change, makes such disturbing reading.

From our homes to our farmlands and coastlines, critical elements of Britain's national life are increasingly under threat.

One of the most immediate concerns is the country's food security. More than half of our highest-quality agricultural land is currently at risk of flooding, and projections suggest that this will increase significantly by 2050.

As climate patterns continue to shift, the potential loss of productive farmland raises serious questions about future food prices and availability.
