By 2015, Government envisages priority sectors incorporating climate risk management into their business decision-making.
Our online service provides:
- information about how the climate of the UK may change
- guidance and advice on carrying out climate change impacts assessments
- guidance and advice on identifying and evaluating climate change adaptation strategies and decisions
- a helpdesk to answer queries on climate change planning as well as provide technical support on the UK Climate Projections
Our tailored support service focuses on a number of sectors, based on those used in the National Climate Change Risk Assessment:
How we work:
- with and through other Government delivery bodies, service providers and sector representatives to understand what is needed
- in partnership with national organisations and local networks
- we develop practical guidance and tools to help organisations identify and evaluate climate change adaptation strategies, including how to assess the costs and benefits of different options
- we help build capacity within organisations through training, professional development and peer-to-peer learning
- we talk to users and practitioners about their needs for future climate projections to ensure their requirements are met
- we will develop a set of adaptation case studies to demonstrate how organisations are taking practical action to adapt
- with research councils, universities and other organisations to ensure our service has access to the latest science
Climate Ready covers England only, but the products generated are available for use across the UK and help us share best practice UK-wide. For further information on activity in the rest of the UK, please visit the websites below:
