This website aims to support organisations working with communities who are vulnerable to climate change to develop fair and equitable responses which will increase local resilience. It will be relevant to people working in a whole range of roles, especially:

 

  • local authorities (including spatial planners, climate change and sustainability officers, public health, housing and social care officers)
  • organisations providing social care, health and housing services
  • the voluntary and community sector
  • others working with vulnerable communities.

Many sections of this website will be relevant to all users, particularly the sections explaining who is vulnerable to climate impacts, which places are disadvantaged and what actions can be taken to support resilience.

In addition you may have a particular task to do. Some examples of tasks undertaken by local authorities are offered below, like developing a green infrastructure plan or identifying who is in fuel poverty for instance, with suggestions as to which areas of the website content are most relevant. There are also examples of more generic content underneath which may be useful for a wider range of tasks.

 

There is also an interactive version of this (right) that can be downloaded which is fully hyperlinked to all the listed pages.
