Meeting the climate change challenge
The Environment Agency (EA) has announced that continuing to build up flood defences to protect vulnerable coastal communities may no longer be sustainable in parts of England. Reports state that the combined effects of climate change and population growth would mean the number of properties built in floodplains would double in the next 50 years.
