The Climate Change Committee has published some useful new briefing notes, commissioned by the Welsh Government, on adaptation to climate change. They cover
– Adaptation and the nature emergency
– Adaptation and social justice
– Adaptation and decarbonisation
There is also a progress report on adaptation in Wales, which shows
- there are some positive examples of plans in place, although this is not consistent across sectors.
- Delivery and implementation are more limited and assessing progress is hampered by significant data gaps. For more than 50% of adaptation outcomes, the lack of indicator data prevents a full assessment of progress.
