This section provides details of better practice in adaptation planning in the form of a recommended adaptation framework and supporting global case studies.
The framework supports the development of robust climate adaptation planning responses and reflects the accumulated lessons learnt from projects around the world. A reconciliation between the framework and the Project’s Phase One activities and outputs is provided so that Phase One can be seen in the context of the entire recommended journey for developing adaptation plans.
Global case studies were researched to identify better practice characteristics that informed and supported the criteria for the initial Health Check assessment on Councils’ current maturity in adaptation responses. These are provided in Appendix 1.
