Adapting to a hotter UK: key risks and responses

Extreme heat is a growing and under‑recognised climate risk that disproportionately affects vulnerable groups. This briefing sets out why stronger national–local coordination, focused investment, and improved public engagement are essential to reduce heat‑related risks and protect vulnerable communities.

The author is Heseltine Institute Honorary Fellow, Dr Wayne Shand. He specialises in urban economic development and poverty reduction, working in the UK and internationally on policy and service design.
