03 July 2024, 08:30 – 14:00 (+ optional post-conference site visit)
Conference Aston, Aston University, Aston St, Birmingham B4 7ET
“The UK’s preparations for climate change are inadequate.”
“The Government must act without further delay to improve the national approach to climate resilience.”
These are the headline quotes from the latest ‘Progress in adapting to climate change: 2025 report to Parliament’ published by the Climate Change Committee in April 2025. Its assessment shows that, despite the impacts of climate change already being felt across the country, all areas of society are not adequately prepared to deal with the impacts. These include more frequent and intense flooding events, heatwaves, periods of water scarcity and storms.
This year’s SWM Annual Conference will focus on what our members and stakeholders in the West Midlands and beyond need to do to adapt to these impacts and how national and local policy can lead to the acceleration of the action that is required.
