Compendium on methods and tools to evaluate impacts of, and vulnerability and adaptation to, climate
change
|
|
Nottingham Declaration Action Pack (NDAP)
|
|
Description
|
Website providing support to local authorities drawing up Action Plans to tackle climate change. It
is structured into five project management stages with council roles divided into: corporate
functions; service provider and community leader, and covers both adaptation and mitigation.
|
|
Appropriate Use
|
It is primarily intended to provide guidance to English local authorities drawing up Climate Change
Action Plans in accordance with the commitments of signatories to the Nottingham Declaration but
could also be of use to any public sector organizations wishing to respond to the challenges of
climate change.
The adaptation threads of the tool are based on the UKCIP risk framework methodology modified to
suit the requirements of UK local authorities.
|
|
Scope
|
The tool is designed for use by all types of English local authorities: district, unitary and county,
but could potentially be of use at regional or sub-regional scales.
|
|
Key Output
|
A practical Climate Change Action Plan - NDAP provides a framework for the production of a
comprehensive action plan for a local authority area covering both climate change mitigation and
adaptation. However, it is structured to allow selective use to cover only specific areas of local
authority operations.
|
|
Key Input
|
NDAP encourages local authorities to identify their local climate risks and vulnerabilities through
the use of UKCIP scenarios and the drawing up of a Local Climate Impacts Profile (LCLIP) based on
recent local exposure to weather events.
|
|
Ease of Use
|
NDAP provides basic guidance for local authority officers to draw up a Climate Change Action Plan. It
is intended to be easy to use and to require little, or no, specialist technical knowledge.
|
|
Training Required
|
NDAP is intended to be sufficiently easy to use that it does not require any specific training.
|
|
Training Available
|
Regional training events were organized following the launch of NDAP version 1 in July 2006. These
were focused on some of the basic principles of climate risk impact assessment and adaptation.
Currently there is no training available, but this is kept under review.
|
|
Computer Requirements
|
Any system with web access
|
|
Documentation
|
No documentation beyond the website itself.
|
|
Applications

NDAP is currently being used by a number of English local authorities to produce Climate Change
Action Plans.
