Next steps

There are three broad categories of actions that can build upon the LCLIP results. These can be classified as:

• Taking action using LCLIP findings to make the case for current and future adaptation, creating capacity for the development of an adaptation strategy or climate change action plan looking at future risks and opportunities.
  Tools: UKCIP case studies, AdOpt, Costings, Principles of good adaptation, Nottingham Declaration Action Plan

• Looking forward and risk assessing comparing LCLIP findings with UK Climate Projections; identifying thresholds for vulnerabilities and their probabilities in future periods; performing workshops or a risk assessment on the key vulnerabilities identified; incorporating climate change / weather related risks into existing risk assessment frameworks and strategies.
  Tools: UKCP09, Socio-Economic Scenarios, Adaptation Wizard, Risk Framework, BACLIAT

• Collecting more evidence and continuing to monitor the impacts and consequences for the organisation / partners of current weather events; identifying and gathering further records, costs and other data that might be available in house, and formulating further methods of analysis.
