Well Adapting East Midlands

Well Adapting East Midlands was one of the projects in the Climate East Midlands Skills Programme, funded by the Department of Communities and Local Government and designed to support the decentralisation of power to the local level by enhancing the skills that local authorities and their local communities need to take positive action on climate change. This project provided continuing support to local authorities and their local strategic partners in becoming more resilient to extreme weather and better adapted to the future climate. A range of activities took place during 2011/12 to help build adaptive capacity and extend knowledge and understanding, that culiminated in

• publishing the findings of a short research project that looked into the impacts of extreme weather for the cities and counties of the East Midlands
• publishing a series of adaptation case studies from across the East Midlands
• the development of a set of outcome-based adaptation indicators to help reveal whether local areas are becoming more or less resilient to weather extremes
• a sharing of best practice via a programme of Peer Learning Days
