This section will provide you with a guide as to the type of effects that climate change is already having and is likely to have in future on some specific aspects of life in Staffordshire. It also contains an overview of the ways in which the county is adapting to these impacts, and how we will need to adapt in future.

Some of these effects may be unexpected as they do not relate to environmental issues; however climate change affects, and is affected by, every part of the infrastructure that supports our lives, including public services, healthcare, farming, leisure and much more.
