Marine Climate Smart Working – Marine Adaptation Examples
Understanding, communicating and celebrating marine adaptation work in the British Isles. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events in the UK, such as floods and heat waves, and businesses and organisations are already responding to the challenges that climate change presents. To share knowledge, experiences and achievements, and in order to promote appropriate responses, MCCIP has launched Climate Smart Working. This aims to bridge the gap between our knowledge of marine and coastal climate change impacts and the capacity of organisations to respond. A general overview of Climate Smart Working is provided in the downloadable thumbnail to the right. As a first stage in this process, we have drawn together examples of adaptation, ranging from the global to local scale, to help share best practice amongst the marine and coastal stakeholder community. The link below will be regularly updated to provide a useful first port of call for organisations wanting to understand how others are approaching adaptation.
