Risks and adaptation | Climate risks and adaptation actions | 6.6b | Please describe the adaptation actions you are taking to reduce the vulnerability of your region's citizens, businesses and infrastructure to the impacts of climate change identified in 6.6a. | 4 | Action description | 13 | Considerable activity has taken place in recent years, a Welsh Peatland Action Group has been set up by WG. This has brought all the stakeholders together. The Group has facilitated and coordinated SMS applications that have been successful in this area. WG have inputted into the UK Peatland code. Glastir scheme is an important tool for peatland / carbon delivery in Wales, outputs are closely monitored, recorded and evaluated. The NRW EU LIFE project for Welsh Raised Bogs is an important project. WG administer the Sustainable Management Schemes - SMS schemes have been approved that deliver on the Peatland / Carbon agenda. These are coordinated programmes. | |||

We are also reviewing Marine Strategy Part One with other UK governments. Welsh Government is taking action to complete an ecologically coherent network of marine protected areas and introducing a framework to ensure the network is managed to contribute to the protection, enhancement and resilience of the marine environment. We are also developing a comprehensive and affordable marine biodiversity monitoring programme to improve understanding of the marine environment and human influences. | |||
| 13256 | 72895 | Wales | United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland | Europe | CDP States and Regions, NRG4SD, The Climate Group | Public | 6. Risks and adaptation | Climate risks and adaptation actions | 6.7 | Please detail any compounding factors that may worsen the impacts of climate change in your region. | 0 | Air Quality- The overall impact from climate change on air quality is uncertain, so it is not possible to determine the magnitude of the future risk. However, studies have concluded that future changes in emissions are a more important driver of future ozone concentrations than chnages in temperature. Higher temperatures may trigger regionsal feedback during stagnation episodes (still weather) that will increase peak ground level ozone, but these effects are not as important a drive of future concentrations as future emissions. The increased proportion of diesel-fuelled traffic in the UK, and the failure of European emission standards for diesel cars to deliver the expected emission reductions of nitrogen oxides, have resulted oiin difficulties meeting EUIair quality limit values for nitrogen dioxide (NO2), prompting infraction proceedings by the European Commission against the UK. - Agricultural land management practices exacerbating flood risk. 88% of Wales' land is agricultural. Poor land management would exacerbate risk. Some land management practices have adverse impact on downstream flood risk. Warmer/ wetter winters with drier summers risk increasing rates of soil weathering and erosion. Risk of increased run-off and river silting as a result of degraded/ compacted land. - Risk to agriculture, forestry, landscapes and wildlife from pests, pathogens and invasive species. This risk is exacerbated by expansion in global trade with climate as a background factor. In addition, lack of natural competition may be an additional foctor especially in landscapes of reduced biodiversity. - Coastal erosion - Around 23% of the Welsh coastline is actively eroding, a natural process that can be excerbated by heavy or prolonged rainfall and coastal storms, which are expected to become more frequent with climate change. - Residential surface water flooding. There is a risk that sewer and surface water flooding may be exerbated by the paving over of front gardens in urban areas. As only 4% of all UK residents paving sales in 2013 were permeable design, it is highly likely that the majority of surfaces being used to pave over front gardens are impermeable (e.g. concrete block paving, asphalt, etc) | |||||

Risks and adaptation | Climate risks and adaptation actions | 6.8 | Do you consider that these impacts of climate change threaten the ability of businesses to operate successfully in your region? Please explain the reasoning behind your response. | 2 | Explanation | 1 | Climate change impacts on businesses | The UK Climate Change Risk Assessment has highlighted 7 risks to which threaten the ability of businesses to operate successfully in Wales. The assessment has shown that current adaptation actions in the region mean we are prepared for all but three of the risks. Those of concern are: • Risks to business sites from flooding. Flooding poses risks to assets (flood damage), and human resource (e.g. access to work). Higher risk of impact to business and communities on the coast. Risk of disruption due to infrastructure disruption, including energy and ICT. Flooding risk expected to increase over coming decades. • Risks to businesses from loss of coastal locations and infrastructure. Greater risk of flooding and coastal erosion due to sea level rise. Risk of viability to coastal communities may increase. Potential impact on maritime logistics and infrastructure - particular risk to industries such as chemical manufacturing, oil, gas and tourism. • Risks to businesses from reduced employee productivity, due to infrastructure disruption and higher temperatures in working environments. Increased risk of travel disruption leading to reduced worker productivity. Increased risk of school closures leading to reduced worker productivity. Risk is greater for smaller businesses, particularly in remote areas. Risk of reduced productivity from extended warm periods. Risk of heat stress to outdoor-working heavy manual labour resources. Risk of thermal discomfort to staff working in older offices. | ||

However thereafter the Food Standards Agency (which has a Wales level operation too) exists to uphold standards operating in conjunction with local authority environmental health and trading standards officers. There is also a Welsh food crime unit which focuses on food fraud. The food safety system is based on traceability throughout the supply chain. There is much regulation in place to ensure this. | |||
