What will happen to this funding in 2019 if, say, there are adverse weather events or a terrible impact is caused by Brexit or CAP changes? What kind of...

The report is a wake-up call, as if we had not enough of those already, and raises a red flag in a way that previous reports have not done. It has dawned on this committee that we need to adopt a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach to tackle climate change and communicating with citizens will be crucial.
