Bringing together research, analysis tools, practical experience and latest climate projections, this guide offers a logical, cost-effective approach to identifying future climate risks and embedding the management of those risks in an existing management
Our climate is changing. It will continue to change for the foreseeable future.
Yet already, in 2009, 58% of UK businesses reported experiencing some kind of disruption as a result of extreme weather. Being prepared for current and future variability and formulating a business response to climate change is becoming increasingly important.
Adaptation to climate change involves making adjustments in response to the likely threats and opportunities arising from the projected changes to our climate. It can mean making physical alterations to premises, equipment, products or services, as well as covering less tangible changes, such as adjustments to working arrangements, strategy and contracts.
Featuring detailed guidance on integrating climate risks within four widely used management standards and providing a tried and tested process for adaptation that can be applied to any relevant existing management system this is the essential guide for anyone looking to implement and effective climate change adaptation strategy.
