Improve quality of life for local communities

Preparing for the impacts of climate change (adaptation) will help to protect communities from the worst effects of severe weather events, such as flooding, storms, high winds and heat waves.

Action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) can bring other benefits to the local community, such as: lower fuel bills; improve the housing stock; reduce business costs; make businesses more competitive; improve public transport, cycling and walking facilities; and improve local air quality.
