About this document

This report was commissioned by the Climate Change Committee to support the Independent Assessment for the Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4). This report and dataset compile key spatial indicators of climate vulnerability for people and businesses. These indicators cover factors such as health, age, mobility, access to green space, and housing type. The data is provided at the neighbourhood level, covering the full UK and using the latest Census and relevant datasets. 

The report also presents two indices showing relative social vulnerability to flooding and high temperatures. It also includes an exploratory index of business vulnerability to climate shocks.
