An adaptation plan template, including guidance notes, has been developed for the Councils. This is provided as a separate document, in a writeable form, and also contains a risk assessment matrix that has been pre-populated with 150 risks.

The climate change adaptation plan template and the associated guidance provides Councils with the tools to develop a detailed, tailored adaptation plan. It will build on the information and outcomes of the Climate Resilient Communities (Phase 1) project provided as part of this report and the Regional Report.
