Identifying Adaptation Options
|
|
Description
|
Guidance on the identification and selection of adaptation options that can be used to respond to
climate risks.
|
|
Appropriate Use
|
The guidance note is aimed at supporting decision and policy makers who are faced with identifying
and appraising the selection and implementation of adaptation measures that address identified
climate risks. It is intended to be used as a companion piece to other UKCIP tools such as the
Adaptation Wizard; Risk, Uncertainty and Decision-Making Framework; Business Areas Climate Impacts
Assessment Tool (BACLIAT), adaptation actions database, and the guidance on costing the impacts of
climate change.
|
|
Scope
|
The guidance note explores adaptation options relating them to their intended purpose - Building
Adaptive Capacity or Delivering Adaptation Actions. It also considers the options in the context of
strategic intentions - living with and bearing losses or risks, preventing effects or reducing
exposure to risks, sharing responsibility for any losses or risks, or exploiting opportunities. Each
of these is further explored through generic examples with real-world specific examples provided.
|
|
Key Output
|
The intention is that after reading this guidance note, decision and policy makers will have the
information that will allow them to identify an appropriate set of adaptation options using the other
UKCIP tools and guidance.
