adaptation action plan
Identifying actions
This
session
Develop an action
plan with target
completion date
Adaptation Responses
• Building Adaptive Capacity e.g.
training/awareness; planning; research
• Delivering Actual Adaptation e.g. building
bigger storm drains; increased shading in
outdoor spaces
Example: Kent Highway Services
• KHS9: We will recycle and use water harvesting where possible as
part of our gully waste management – Delivering Adaptive Action
(DAA)
• KHS10: We will monitor the impacts of severe weather events on
our assets and use this information to inform assessments of
maintenance and repair priorities – Building Adaptive Capacity
(BAC)
Kent’s Adaptation Action Plan
Example: Public Sector Estate
• PSE8: When retrofitting and maintaining our estate we will
determine opportunities for passive cooling and other adaptation
measures to be implemented at the same time (and in co-ordination
with other opportunities such as renewables) – Delivering Adaptive
Action (DAA)
• PSE3: We will undertake a programme of training and guidance on
the impacts of climate change for building / facility managers –
Building Adaptive Capacity (BAC)
NOTE:
There are a number of cross-cutting actions in the Kent Adaptation
Action Plan which are likely to be relevant for your team and can form
some starting points for your team’s plan. Kent’s Adaptation Action Plan
Identifying actions
Next Steps…
1) Complete the spreadsheet to develop an action
plan
2) Embed actions identified into existing business
risk management processes and business plans
where appropriate
* The aim is not to duplicate work, but to ensure that climate change becomes part of
usual business considerations and is assessed proportionately alongside other processes.
Next Steps continued…
Developing a robust risk management process:
•
Once complete, the spreadsheet will be sent to
[email protected] (for checking any
crossover with other plans to maximise use of
resources).
•
KCC Monitoring Systems: The plan will be
incorporated into our IS014001and Kent
Environment Strategy monitoring procedures
And finally…..
