Adapting to climate change: Engaging with Government on policy implementation

The Climate Change Adaptation Team at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) are starting to consider and plan for the third National Adaptation Programme (NAP), due to be published in 2023. This process includes engaging with different sectors, including on addressing climate risks set out in the recently published Climate Change Risk Assessment.

This webinar, from 10.30am-12pm on February 23, gives you the opportunity to hear directly from government officials on their engagement activity on the third NAP and from Local Partnerships on the support they can provide councils.

This Adapting to climate change webinar is ideal for anyone that wants to understand more about Defra’s work on climate change adaptation, make connections with the right government officials and ask questions on policy development and implementation.
