National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy
We also recommend that the reference to the National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy, this was updated in 20201. The Strategy has three core ambitions concerning future risk and investment needs:
1. Climate resilient places: working with partners to bolster resilience to flooding and coastal change across the nation, both now and in the face of climate change
2. Today’s growth and infrastructure resilient in tomorrow’s climate: Making the right investment and planning decisions to secure sustainable growth and environmental improvements, as well as resilient infrastructure.
3. A nation ready to respond and adapt to flooding and coastal change: Ensuring local people understand their risk to flooding and coastal change, and know their responsibilities and how to take action.
