In this briefing, we reveal how climate change and nature loss are directly increasing annual household costs by £233.49 across England through higher insurance premiums, water bills and food prices. These rising costs stem from problems that can in part be addressed by managing land differently so that it does more to protect communities from flooding, and food supplies from climate change.

We show the government’s Environmental Land Management scheme is central to tackling these challenges, and call for its budget to be boosted in the upcoming spending review.
