This report aims to assess climate risks and opportunities to the UK. To do this, a standard methodology is used to review available peer-reviewed, and other quality-assured, evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 7 of this report on the economy features contributions from Institute staff. This chapter assesses how climate change poses complex, systemic risks to the UK economy, affecting everything from macroeconomic stability and public finances to business assets, labour productivity, and household resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
