Latest appointments to the Adaptation Committee of the Climate Change Committee
The Adaptation Committee of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) has announced the appointments of three new members: Dr Emily Shuckburgh, Professor Jacqueline McGlade and Dr Mark Workman.
The Adaptation Committee provides independent, expert advice to the UK Government on climate change adaptation. It is responsible for developing a UK Climate Change Risk Assessment, which assesses the risks and opportunities of climate change for the UK, and providing advice on how to adapt to these.
The new members of the Adaptation Committee bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the Committee. Dr Shuckburgh is a climate scientist and Head of the Polar Oceans Team at the British Antarctic Survey. Professor McGlade is a Professor of Environmental Science and Director of the University of Exeter’s European Centre for Environment and Human Health. Dr Workman is a senior lecturer in climate change adaptation at the University of Manchester.
The Adaptation Committee’s Chair, Professor Lord Krebs, said:
“I am delighted to welcome Dr Shuckburgh, Professor McGlade and Dr Workman to the Adaptation Committee. Their expertise in climate science, environmental health and adaptation planning will be invaluable to our work.”
The new members will join the Adaptation Committee at a critical time. Climate change is already having a significant impact on the UK, and the risks are only going to increase in the future. The Adaptation Committee’s work is essential to helping the UK prepare for the impacts of climate change and build a more resilient society.
