Climate Adaptation Project Officers (CAPOs)
Since September 2009, our new regional team of CAPOs has been assessing the risks of longer term climate change to local government services and local priorities. We are also very keen to engage with members of Local Strategic Partnerships, particularly big public sector bodies like NHS Trusts, police forces, fire authorities and universities. If you would like to know more about this work, and undertake your own climate risk assessment, please contact a CAPO.
