South West Climate Change Impacts Partnership
The South West Climate Change Impacts Partnership (SWCCIP) is funded by the Environment Agency, Government Office for the South West, South West Regional Assembly, South West Regional Development Agency and South West Water. The partnership's mission is:
“to investigate, inform and advise on the impacts of climate change in SW England, to influence the strategies and plans of key partners and stakeholders and, through dialogue and research with priority sectors, develop and share practical adaptation strategies which respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by these impacts.”
The partnership’s main aims are:
-
To increase awareness and understanding of the potential impacts of climate change upon the South West;
-
To initiate, sponsor, disseminate and build upon research and other projects in order to a) explore further the potential impacts of climate change on particular sectors in the South West and b) investigate effective adaptation responses to these impacts;
-
To promote the inclusion of climate change adaptation into the strategies and plans of all organisations, particularly those with responsibility at a regional scale;
-
To act as a regional focal point for information, initiatives and resources and to provide a link between the many regional and sub-regional organisations concerned with the issues of adaptation to climate change;
-
To provide a link with national and international organisations concerned with the issues of adaptation to climate change, including UKCIP;
-
To provide a link with those organisations and activities seeking to mitigate climate change and promote sustainable development across the SW region.
The partnership has priority sector groups which look at the effects and impacts of climate change in the south west on specific sectors.
More information about SWCCIP is available on the partnership’s website.
