Climate change adaptation case studies from the Anglian Region
Planning for climate change needs to start today if we are going to meet the challenges of the future. This is particularly apparent on the coast where erosion and sea level rise will affect a large number of people and businesses over the long term.
Managing climate change on the coast will require us to work with natural processes to ensure that rising sea levels and storm surges can be accommodated.
Wetlands play an important role in storing flood waters because they can absorb heavy rainfall. With climate change we can expect increased winter rainfall and heavier rainstorms.
