Adapting to Climate Change

Recognising how climate change will affect our lives and how we can effectively respond to it

Our target: Yet to be defined

In order for us to be able to monitor our progress on adapting to climate change, we need to acquire a relevant dataset that has the following parameters:

• Broken down into local authority area
• Covers the whole West Midlands region (32 local authorities)
• Is updated annually
• Has been collected since at the latest 2019, and ideally since 2010
• Is publicly accessible
• Comes from a credible source (e.g. central Government department)

We are working with organisations such as the Environment Agency and Defra so that we can identify a suitable dataset for monitoring purposes against which we can then establish a credible 2030 target, in line with relevant overarching strategies such as the National Adaptation Programme and the National Assessment of Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk in England. If you think you can help us, please get in touch.
