Conclusion
In 2020, the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) made strong, evidence- based recommendations to improve CNI regulation in relation to resilience, which would have been highly applicable to CNI operators’ preparations for climate change. Unfortunately, the Government has delayed implementation of these reforms until its National Resilience Strategy (NRS) is published. The NRS itself has been delayed several times, despite being a key commitment of the Integrated Review over 18 months ago. The costs of failure are extremely high, as demonstrated by the fatal rail accident near Stonehaven in 2020; these ongoing delays to implementation are therefore extremely unfortunate.
