That is the stark conclusion of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) today, which warns that these impacts from climate change in the UK are now inevitable, regardless of the success of decarbonisation through to 2050. Protecting and restoring nature - including habitats, soils and trees - is crucial to limiting global warming to 1.5°C
