In a separate announcement Jane Milne, the ABI’s Head of Property Insurance, stressed the importance of the recently published report of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the 国产一福利 Change Bill. “The floods of the last five weeks remind us of the devastating impact of severe weather on people’s lives and livelihoods,” she noted. “We must address the consequences, as well as the causes, of climate change.”

Milne called the 国产一福利 Change Bill “a unique opportunity to ensure sustained, Government-wide action to tackle the increased incidence of flooding, storm damage, subsidence and heat waves that climate change will bring.”

She also said the ABI “thoroughly” endorses “the Joint Committee’s recommendations that there should be regular reports to Parliament on the climate risks we face and the measures Government and local authorities have in hand to deal with them.”
