This new report examines how climate change
could affect day to day living costs of UK households. A
key finding is that low income households will be most affected by
climate change impacts on the costs of living. The
food bill for an average household could rise by 9% by the 2050s and
this will have a bigger impact on low income households, because their
average household spending on food is higher.
There are also large costs for those affected
by increased flooding, especially for those without insurance which many
low income households lack. In addition, there are higher risks of
flooding in many deprived areas.
