Recent reports and statements by officials have highlighted a significant concern regarding the preparedness of various parts of the UK to face climate risks, including flooding and overheating. Flood alerts have been issued for large parts of the Welsh coast, indicating an immediate threat. Furthermore, a report has deemed it not economical to defend all of Wales from flooding. In London, an independent review of government measures has found the city to be underprepared to deal with climate risks. MPs have also criticized the current flood defence policy as flawed. The reports warn that London faces deadly risks due to climate change, suggesting that the measures in place are insufficient to protect Londoners from 'lethal' climate risks.
