Climate Change

Evaluation

RP0634Assessing and Responding to climate risks to Natural England’s ObjectivesThe direct impact of climate change on the natural environment is already being observed. The resultant changes in species, habitats and ecosystems pose both threats and potential opportunities for Natural England''s objectives. Indirect effects mediated through human responses to climate change, including adaptation in other sectors can also affect the natural environment in positive or negative ways. This report has been produced to meet the requirements of the Climate Change Act (2008) reporting power and presents our completed assessment of risks that climate change poses and our plans to address them.
