South East
Climate change adaptation case studies from our South East region.
-
The South East of England is already classified as being ‘water stressed’, with less water per person than some Mediterranean countries. Climate change will make this worse unless we find ways of using water more wisely.
-
-
-
Climate change will lead to an increase in rainfall and more intense rain storms, leading to more frequent flooding, including from surface water. Green roofs are one way that we can help stem this problem.
-
Regeneration projects offer valuable opportunities to adapt urban spaces to climate change. Through the land use planning system, schemes can employ innovative designs to avoid future flooding and improve areas for wildlife.
-
Increasing pressures from housing and population growth will add additional burdens on the natural environment, including future water supplies. Climate change will be an added pressure unless we can find innovative ways of reducing demand.
-
All industrial sites and premises should be considering their risks from climate change but none more so than those that contain critical infrastructure, such as sites of strategic importance, such as the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) in Burghfield.
