The event series brings together senior experts and colleagues from different sectors to tackle difficult and complex climate adaptation and resilience challenges in the UK in the form of an annual roundtable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inaugural event that this note describes took place in London on 11 February 2025. It focused on the establishment of a National Heat Risk Commission for the UK. The discussion was informed by the Grantham Research Institute&rsquo;s work to assess and enhance governance responses and understand public perceptions to extreme heat. The work aims to analyse ways in which the UK can better prepare for periods of extreme heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The findings in the note reflect the authors&rsquo; interpretation of the roundtable discussion.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>Event note from the inaugural &lsquo;Adeline Talks&rsquo; workshop which brought together experts to discuss the establishment of a National Heat Risk Commission for the UK. <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[174,4926,4401,1167,697,437],"publication-type":[1682],"topic_area":[4783],"class_list":["post-77878","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","tag-adaptation","tag-adeline-talks","tag-heat-risk","tag-heatwave","tag-resilience","tag-uk","publication-type-policy-publications","topic_area-uk-adaptation-policy"],"acf":{"show_translations_widget":{"ref_value":"field_6203d588c41e8","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"downloads":{"ref_value":"field_52f16cc1a80f2","value":["https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/granthaminstitute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Adeline-Talks-Series-Establishing-a-National-Heat-Risk-Commission.pdf"],"type":"download","post_type":""},"rss_newsletter":{"ref_value":"field_54f5c2c1544d8","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"profile_link":{"ref_value":"field_52f164b5189e9","value":["candice-howarth","emma-howard-boyd","anna-beswick","daisy-jameson","sara-mehryar"],"type":"relationship","post_type":"profile"},"spotlight":{"ref_value":"field_52f80896506d3","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
