Climate resilient infrastructure and construction
The Adaptation Scotland and Climate Ready Clyde programmes have collaborated to produce a toolkit for assessing and addressing risks in the development of infrastructure, built environment and regeneration projects. The guidance covers early screening to full risk assessments and adaptation planning, in a way which is aligned to the processes required by the majority of international financing and funding institutions, to reduce the barriers to successfully financing adaptation projects.
The toolkit outlines the changing financial and regulatory contexts for project development. It provides practical tools to allow organisations to consider risks alongside the development of business cases and delivery of projects. It also includes four project examples from Glasgow City Region which are embracing this approach. The toolkit is flexible and designed to be customised to fit individual organisation’s or area’s own unique context.
The guide has been informed by best practice approaches, including the Climate Change Committee’s UK Climate Change Risk Assessment and the ISO14091 Standard on climate change adaptation and risk assessment.
This toolkit can be used along with editable versions of the risk assessment and adaptation planning templates available to download below.
