Dr Pam Berry said: ‘It is important that we take greater adaptation action now to avoid current and potential future impacts of climate change. ‘One way to do this is through nature-based solutions which protect, sustainably manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems whilst benefiting human well-being and biodiversity. In urban environments, increasing green spaces provides habitats for species and opportunities for species to move, as well as decreasing temperatures. ‘However, it is also critical to address the causes of climate change through mitigation. The authors add that ministers have not taken the CCC’s advice on the importance of implementing such measures, and this would need to change urgently.
