Climate change: Next government urged to do more after election

Climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity, according to the United Nations.

Despite its importance, some voters think it is not being discussed enough during this general election campaign.

BBC News has spoken to people who believe it should be the top issue for the next government.

“We had to strip everything out and start again. We buy plastic things such as chairs so we can just wash them down.

“Our new sprung floor is foam and plastic so it can come up and go back down again, as opposed to the wooden floor we had.

“We are working on the assumption that it will happen again and probably sooner rather than later.”

Olivia Egan is describing the aftermath of a flood which left her business, Jack’s Theatre School at Catcliffe, under 3ft (90cm) of water.

Storm Babet brought around a month’s worth of rainfall in 36 hours last October, flooding 250 homes and businesses.

Eight months on, moisture is still coming out of the walls of the theatre school through dehumidifiers.
