that's a huge sum of money that's already invested in flood protection work in the uk. when we look at the impact of climate change and particularly the effects on the sort of storm events that leads to flooding in urban areas and, indeed, in rural areas as well, we are looking in the uk at something up to around 40 percent increase in rainfall intensity. and when we model that effect on our urban drainage systems on our river channels, we see that that will lead to something understandablely of the order of 40 percent increase in the flows in those drainage systems. but because those drainage systems are already nearing capacity, that has a disproportionate effect on the amount of flooding and the amount of damage that might occur. we expect to see 100 percent increase in flood volumes on the surface, doubling the flood volume. 130 percent increase in the number of properties affected and a 200 percent increase in the damage of that flooding. that's a three-fold increase in damage costs. that's just looking at that fairly narrow band of flood control and damaged proper

i'm david baumforth and i'd like to share experiences of what's been going on in the uk and also for me to share what's been going on here as well. in talking about what we've been doing in the uk in relation to our adaptation strategies for flooding and coastal defense, i want to talk through a few of the strategic projects we've been undertaking, one of them for the uk (inaudible) climate change in relation to urban flooding and foresight project, which is the uk government project for climate change, flooding and coastal defense. government guidance note on planning, talking about making space for water in urban design, the construction industry in the uk's design guidance for managing extreme events or managing exceedence and finally the government's policy guidance in the uk on integrated approaches to urban drainage. now, the picture on climate change is all too familiar. this is a graph of projected global warming and temperature rise and its effects northwest europe and particularly the uk. it's a very similar picture to the one you have here. it predicts however you account

in the uk, it's very interesting what you find in those low spots. first of all, you find that's where the low income houses, that's where the poor people live, the people who have no say really in what goes on in the community. so i was really pleased you make the point about environmental justice. the second thing you find out in the uk it's almost always where we put our emergency services because the land is cheap. your fire departments, the ambulances, all that disappears in the first half hour of the storm. >> we use earthquake faults for that. >> okay, but i like the idea of the pilot project because people don't have to commit themselves so much. you get them working on the pilot project and then you expand it. >> certainly san francisco has a problem along these lines as well. we've been looking at developments that -- i guess i preface my statement by saying maybe, echoing the mayor's comment about we should have started looking at this 10 years ago, 10 years ago, at least in my world, i don't know that we talked much about this kind of thi

that's a summary of the average annual damage as a result of flooding in the uk. then we have four other bands and these are the four future scenarios. this is looking at really the world economic environment and how that might change in the future. the left is an economic environment that is based on world markets driving the economy. the next one is based on natural enterprise driving the economy. the next one is one of local ownership, everything reduced to regional economy and the right is everything driven basically on the basis of environment protection. our feeling at the moment is that it's the second of those that is the most likely, that is the national enterprise model. and we can see as we look at that that there's going to be very substantial increase in flooding in the future and within that, that the biggest increase is likeliest to occur within our urban environments. so although we will see a very significant increase in flooding due to river flooding and flooding due to coastal impacts, the biggest cause or biggest increase in flooding in the fut

directly. >> what assessment he has made of the effect of coalition politics on the future of the uk's nuclear deterrent. >> we have made it clear that we are committed to maintaining a nuclear deterrent based on trident. that is why it was excluded from the strategic defense and security review, and why we commissioned a separate value- for-money study. the replacement of trident is going ahead, and initial gate will be passed soon. as set out in the coalition agreement, the liberal democrats will continue to make the case for alternatives. >> when the coalition was being formed, my right honorable friend promised a meeting of all conservative mps that the liberal democrats would support the replacement of trident. as we know, the key decision has been postponed until after the next election, and the liberal democrats, from their president downwards, have been boasting that this was their achievement. will the prime minister give a pledge to this house and to the country that in the event of another hung parliament, if the liberal democrats demand as the price for another coalition th

we ended up driving to tia juana with our family in order to return to the uk. we then had only five months to verify. we flew back to the u.k. for the interview which cost about $6,000, rather than processing in the u.s. embassies were rude to me and my bike in the process. -- wife in the process. we were a small company but had been in the u.s. for eight years, and had one of our best years. they seemed unaware of general business and tax accounting practices. however, my wife developeafter h the officer, the visa was approved. afton and there was finger wagging saying that you need to come up was something better than two years' time currently, there is no resolution for these types of green card holders. we will have to constantly trouble in the new at the will of immigration authorities. so how does this affect families? it affects our ability to run a business with unpredictable but times. it makes you unproductive and therefore unproductive thanks to the huge amounts of repetitive information required. processing fees which are a burden to the families in

that's certainly something we've used in the, uk. i know it's been used here is a well.this is taking an incremental approach. not starting with the solution today to address all the problems but what can we do now to take it in the right direction in the next 20 years so we won't have to stand up in 20 years and say we should not have done that or even worse, i wish we'd done something 20 years back. i believe peter said, maybe some of us think if we acted in 1997 some of the problems might not be so challenging in 07'. an incremental no regrets approach might be something to think about as a strategy for going forward. we talked about from the third perspective, stake holder perspective and it takes time to bring them to the table. it's different techniques that it takes to reconcile differences and manager conflict and move forward. we do have to find the time in the planning process to bring those different agencies closer and that needs to be structured in our processes. we need that time and investment needed to do that - needs to be in place and i was delighted to

it's not natural for us in the, uk. we have spent a lot of time building trust between the agencies and companies but when we achieved that it's been enormously helpful and it's achieved the feedback back into the legislation process because when you get a collective bodies working together, it's very easy to influence the legislation process. >> chuck, i'm going back to running the office and be a regulator and tell you what i hated. what i hated is when people came in and said they didn't like the rules and they wanted a performance based standard and they would say, we know what we want to do and we're green and trust us. if someone comes in and says we don't like the prescriptive standards and we run models and can invest better to have a better return for theen environment i found the regulator pretty open to look at those. i think as we look at regulatory engagement i think what we need to do with regulators is bring to them solutions. i spend more on training in my staff in a month than most spend on regulators i
