Flooding is the UK’s fastest-growing climate risk, costing billions each year and disrupting lives and livelihoods.
The FloodAction Coalition is making the shift from short-term recovery to long-term resilience – restoring nature’s ability to protect us, creating new value for people, and strengthening communities for generations to come.
We are creating a £1 billion national market for water resilience.
The FloodAction Coalition led by The Conduit, unites insurers, landowners, and investors to create a £1 billion market for water resilience by 2028—turning nature-based solutions into scalable, investable infrastructure for a climate-resilient future.

“As a leading home insurer in the UK, we see first-hand the devastating impacts that flooding brings to communities. Extreme weather events are set to become more common, so more homes and businesses are likely to be affected. In England alone, the number of homes at risk from flooding is set to increase by over a quarter (27 per cent), from 6.3 million to 8 million.
Natural flood management has an important role to play in helping to reduce the impacts from flooding. It’s important that we act on this now — helping build resilience and supporting communities to get ready for the future — which is why we’re proud to play a leading role in the FloodAction Coalition.”
“FloodAction is a powerful example of cross-sector collaboration. By aligning insurers, investors, landowners and communities, it turns the UK’s greatest climate risk into a resilience market — one that protects homes, supports livelihoods and restores nature at scale.”
“We face a future of wetter winters and more intense rainfall – one of the greatest challenges climate change presents to the safe and reliable operation of our network. We can’t rely on hard engineering alone: much of our drainage predates modern climate design standards. Nature-based flood management offers a cost-effective part of the solution, but real impact depends on delivery at catchment scale. That’s why we’re working with the FloodAction Coalition – to pool resources, scale what works, and strengthen resilience for people, places, and infrastructure.”
“Rebuilding Nature commend Flood Action Coalition on their official launch. By physically embedding these actions into the construction of the UKs Strategic Nature Network, initiatives like Flood Action Coalition will contribute to delivering benefits for everyone across society. We look forward to amplifying the work of Flood Action Coalition and other thematic initiatives, demonstrating how these efforts collectively contribute to national resilience, health, and prosperity.”
“We believe Nature is critical infrastructure and so Nattergal is excited to be collaborating with leading UK businesses through Flood Action to develop a functioning ecosystem service market for Nature-based solutions helping build flood resilience, improve water quality and storage, and restore functioning ecosystems.”
“Climate resilience isn’t just a technical challenge — it’s a system redesign challenge. That’s what makes the FloodAction Coalition so important. By aligning incentives and metrics across finance, land use, insurance and policy, we’re building the foundations of a new resilience market — one that values nature not as a victim of climate change, but as a solution. Systemiq is proud to help design the financial and institutional architecture needed to build trust and to make this market real, investable and scalable.”
“Nature-based solutions like restoring wetlands and improving water quality are not just good for the environment—they’re essential for our future economic resilience. Clean and healthy water underpins everything from food production to business continuity. If we get this right, the benefits to society and the economy are profound: reduced flood risk, better drought management, and real progress on nutrient neutrality. By turning £6 billion in flood losses into a £1 billion climate resilience market, we have a unique opportunity to unlock public and private investment in solutions that protect communities, restore nature, and deliver long-term value for everyone.”
