Using our recent work in the waste area as an example, the webinar will cover:
- how can mapping tools improve decision making in the design and delivery of waste services?
- what data, tools and inputs are required to develop an effective mapping tool?

Website
The Local Energy Supply Guides from Ynni Cymru are available in English and Welsh and provide practical, accessible information to help organisations explore local energy supply opportunities and make better use of locally generated renewable energy. The guidance covers the key regulatory, commercial and technical considerations involved in developing local energy supply projects, helping organisations understand the options available and assess potential approaches.
The guides cover Behind-the-Meter Energy Systems, Private Wire Energy Systems and Licence Exempt Electricity Supply. They explain how each model works, the opportunities it may offer, and the factors organisations should consider before progressing a project. The guidance is designed for local authorities, public sector organisations, SMEs, voluntary and charitable organisations, community energy organisations, renewable energy developers and others interested in retaining more value from renewable energy within local communities.

Toolkit
With recent heatwaves, wildfires, and droughts highlighting the growing impacts of climate change, it’s more important than ever for councils to understand and prepare for climate risks. Explore our two newly updated climate adaptation resources, both revised and refreshed to reflect the CCC’s Fourth Independent Assessment of UK Climate Risk (CCRA4-IA).
The UK Government has committed to reducing carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, and 70% of local authorities in the UK have declared a climate emergency. Net zero cannot be achieved without adaptation.
Adaptation (in climate change context) is otherwise known as resilience or preparedness. Resilience is the ambition, adaptation is the method.
We need to adapt to the challenges that arise from the significant climate impacts we are facing in the UK, and take advantage of the opportunities.

Following user feedback we have updated the previously named risk register generator.
