This conference was a timely opportunity to assess the policy priorities for flood and coastal risk management in England. It followed the announcement of Government plans to invest £2.3 billion in flood defence projects up to 2021.
Sessions evaluated the impact of planned funding and how it can be best targeted, as well as the latest progress of major schemes. There was also discussion on the new Flood Re insurance scheme, currently due to begin operation from April 2016, that aims to ensure that those at highest risk of flooding can receive affordable cover for the flood element of their household property insurance.
The seminar brought together senior policymakers with industry experts and representatives, advisors and commentators, finance and legal experts, local government and citizen’s groups, academics, and others with an interest in the issues.
