The UK has been urged to prepare for at least 2°C of global warming by 2050, following a new warning from the Climate Change Committee (CCC).
In a letter to the government, the CCC said the country is not yet adapted to the extreme weather already happening, let alone what lies ahead.
The warning comes as the World Meteorological Organization confirmed that 2024 saw the largest rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide since records began in the 1950s; and with greenhouse gas levels continuing to increase, the CCC said preparations for a hotter climate have “either stalled or are heading in the wrong direction,” leaving hospitals, schools, transport systems and energy networks increasingly vulnerable to disruption.
