MY ears pricked up the other day when I heard Baroness Brown speaking on the news about the new report published by the Climate Change Committee.
She said that action to improve the nation’s resilience is not keeping pace with the impacts of global heating.
One of the areas the report highlights is the impact of heatwaves on human health and productivity, particularly in homes, hospitals and care homes that are unable to stay cool.
Shockingly, the committee says that in last year’s heatwave 2,500 people in the UK died but the Government had not heeded the committee’s previous warnings that homes must be easier to cool by using shutters or planting, for example.
