On 1 December 2025, the Council for Science and Technology (CST) published a letter to the Prime Minister that was written in October 2025. The letter stresses the importance of taking climate adaptation action now to safeguard the United Kingdom’s long‑term resilience to climate change. CST outlined four recommendations directed at Number 10 and the Cabinet Office and expressed support for the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) plan to coordinate the development of cross‑government adaptation objectives. The advice aims to strengthen national preparedness by encouraging policy makers to adopt integrated strategies that address environmental risks across all government departments.
