| contents | <p><span>As the climate continues to change at an ever-increasing rate, it has become essential that we learn to adapt to these changes. Although there has been an increased focus on planning for adaptation to climate change impacts in recent years, implementation is still limited. As it is often policies and legislation that help drive climate adaptation, it is imperative that these policies are held to the highest standards to ensure effective and just climate adaptation is supported. To explore how each of the five jurisdictions areas within the UK and Ireland (Ireland, England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland) have adapted to the challenge of climate change we carried out an assessment of the adaptation policies of each of these jurisdictions evaluated against a list of essential criteria for successful adaptation. The results demonstrate that while national policies across the UK and Ireland generally acknowledge the necessary aspects of good climate adaptation, they currently do not provide the resources to allow for this to be implemented. The findings of this research will be used to explore the role national and regional governance has played in driving inclusive, sustainable adaptation in each area and whether </span><span>place-based and context specific factors that are proving challenging for adaptation action can be overcome with proactive approaches to adaptation at a national and sub-national level.</span></p> |
