Description

The phenomenon of climate change continues to move up the local government agenda. As it does, councils and other organisations are becoming increasingly aware of the potential impacts of a changing climate and the need to develop adaptation responses. But, is it changing weather events or a changing climate to which local councils must adapt? Local Climate Impacts Profile (LCLIP): a simple tool designed to help organisations to assess their exposure to weather and climate. The LCLIP process highlights a locality’s vulnerability to severe weather events and how these events affect local communities as well as local authority assets, infrastructure and capacity to deliver services. An LCLIP is a pragmatic, and effective, starting point for a better understanding of the future.
