Research by Local Partnerships highlights climate adaptation needs in new LGA report
Councils sound alarm on local climate threats
“The impacts of climate change are going to intensify into the future and councils are warning people and places will be left increasingly vulnerable without further preparation.”
Research undertaken by Local Partnerships on behalf of the Local Government Association (LGA) has formed the basis of a new LGA report that presents to central government what climate adaptation support local government needs.
Climate adaptation needs in new LGA Report
The report sets out what local authorities would like to see from a refreshed National Adaptation Plan (NAP3), and the wider national government policy, regulatory and funding framework, to accelerate central and local government’s collaboration on place-based adaptation to climate change. It identifies recommendations to take to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
The third iteration of the NAP could be a five-year adaptation accelerator programme, providing the foundations for the long-term adaptation strategy, for the fourth NAP and beyond. The NAP needs to be a key tool in driving actions towards adaptation and not just a record of current practice and future risks.
