On climate adaptation, the Government already work closely with local authorities, a number of which are developing dedicated climate risk assessments. In October 2024, the Government launched a local authority climate service, which provides tailored data on climate change impacts. The Government also ran the first adaptation reporting power trial for local authorities last year, providing guidance and support on how to assess climate risks to their functions and services. The Government provide a range of net zero support to local authorities. This includes Great British Energy, the UK’s new, independent energy company, which will provide funding and support to local government, community energy groups, government departments and devolved Governments to help increase the rollout of renewable energy projects.
