RESOLVED:
 
1.   
That Cabinet approve the Surrey Climate Change
Adaptation and Resilience Strategy.
 
Reasons for Decisions:
 
The
impacts of climate change are already being felt across Surrey and
will worsen in the coming years. The Surrey Climate Change
Adaptation and Resilience Strategy “Surrey Adapt” sets
out Surrey’s collective approach to avoiding, reducing and
adapting to these increasing risks. This includes planning for and
adapting to: floods; droughts and water insecurity; heatwaves and
prolonged changes in temperature extremes; wildfires; and other
potential knock-on impacts of climate change on human health,
disease burden, impacts on infrastructure and the natural
environment.
