A Well Adapting Region
Our approach to combating the impacts of unavoidable climate change will continue to develop throughout this Action Plan. There have been significant developments through the publication of the latest UK Climate Projections, and the requirement for national and statutory risk assessments, resulting from the UK Climate Change Act, will need to be integrated into regional planning and policy development.
The priority for the region is to develop an adaptation framework which encompasses our approach to identify the vulnerability of our communities, businesses, built and natural environment to future climate change and to understand how this adaptation capacity will be translated into adaptation actions.
