Co-creation of the National Adaptation Programme
United Kingdom

The UK National Adaptation Programme (July 2013) was co-created by government and other stakeholders from the start. Options were developed by government actors and those outside the government alike. The Environment Agency’s Climate Ready Support Service played an integral part in providing advice and support to businesses, the public sector and other organisations on adapting to a changing climate. The service aims to help organisations build their own capacity to adapt through incorporating climate risk management into their decision making processes. Partners in priority sectors are provided tailored tools, guidance and training to enable them to understand and respond to the challenges of a changing climate. Partnerships have been established for example with the Met Office, the Local Government Association and the regional Climate Change Partnerships.

A collective understanding of the most urgent climate risks as well as widespread commitment to action started to form in the co-creation processes that resulted in the National Adaptation Programme. The policy document contains policies and proposals of which some are the responsibility of the government while others cover areas of joint responsibility. Local government, industry, communities and civil society all have important roles to play in the development and delivery of shared solutions.
