Strategic Risk Assessments
The Adaptation Scotland programme has developed guidance and tools to support organisations in undertaking climate change risk assessments. A strategic climate risk assessment is used to evaluate climate risks across your organisation or for key services / asset portfolios. This strategic ‘scan’ helps to understand the changing likelihood and consequence of a range of potential risks for your organisation. It enables you to prioritise climate risks, allowing you to better focus limited resources.
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.
‘Connecting climate risk and strategic priorities: Guide to strategic climate change risk assessments’ can be used along with editable versions of the risk assessment templates in the accompanying Excel spreadsheet.
