Climate Change Survey Consultation
Following the first Climate Change Risk Assessment in 2012, Defra commissioned us (ONS) to develop a feasibility study on the adaptation economy. This aimed to understand if a survey to measure the UK business activity of adapting to climate change and taking advantage of any opportunities was possible.
To further understand the challenges of completing such a survey and what benefits may be realised we would like to hear your views on the proposed survey design. Your feedback will provide useful results for policy, academia and business. The proposed survey covers:
- impact from weather-related events
- risks and opportunities relating to current and future changes in climate
- income from adaptation goods and services related to changes in climate
