Climate change impacts in the East of England
In 2002, the East of England Sustainable Development Round Table
appointed consultants to undertake a study to provide guidance for a
range of policy initiatives and practical actions for regional
adaptation to climate change. The Living with Climate Change in the East of England study (2003) consisted of two stages:
A summary
report (500 KB) and briefings for businesses (500 KB) and Local Authorities (570 KB) were published.
Following this study, the East of England Climate Change Partnership
developed from a Sub-Group of the Sustainable
Development Round Table for the East of England. It is currently
developing a Climate Action Plan East that aims to:
- reduce the region’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions;
- manage the risk from a changing climate;
- take advantage of the opportunities climate change can bring.
Work is progressing in three principal streams:
The Environment, lead by the Environment Agency;
The Economy and business, lead by EEDA;
Community and social, lead by EERA.
A further stream of work will be lead by GO-East looking at the regulatory and fiscal framework in which organisations and individuals operate, and national issues.
As part of the development of the plan, the Partnership commissioned a review of the current position and activity on climate change mitigation and adaptation in the East of England.
