Thank you @tobyperkinsmp for kicking off the 2nd International Conference on Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience on Tuesday.
Flooding can risk lives, livelihoods, crucial energy and transport infrastructure, and natural capital upon which our food and water systems depend. I had the opportunity to present the EAC's flooding report at the @IMechE Conference on Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience.

New @IMechE report examines the different technology options for decarbonising aerospace. The short answer? It's likely there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Presented as a 'green paper', we invite feedback and will be running workshops on the topic over the coming year.
