Recipe for disaster: how climate change threatens British-grown fruit and veg
This report documents the impacts that extreme and unpredictable weather are having on British-grown fruit and vegetables. The new data from the Priestley International Centre for Climate shows that these impacts are in line with climate trends that will continue if action against climate change is not taken. The UK can expect more frequent extreme weather events - including longer-lasting and more intense heatwaves, and a one-in-three chance of record-breaking rainfall hitting parts of England each winter.
The report, Recipe for disaster: climate change threatens British-grown fruit and veg, is being published as part of The Climate Coalition 'Show The Love' campaign which celebrates valueable things that could be lost to climate change.
