A new report from the National Trust suggests that we are ill equipped to the deal with the extremes of weather emanating from climate change that will lead to more flooding and drought events around the country.
The full report can be downloaded from here.
One of the recommendations suggests that we should be funding farmers to manage flood plains as flood plains so as to reduce the impacts of flooding downstream.
One of the case studies is at Wicken Fen where such an approach is being implemented. The Wicken Fen Vision is also bringing huge biodiversity, landscape, access and carbon sequestration benefits.
