The Maximising UK Adaptation to Climate Change Hub is advertising four, short-term research contracts as part of its Policy Response Unit, that aims to provide the evidence the UK government requires to advance adaptation policy. 

This MACC funding call aims to catalyse transformational climate adaptation across the UK by supporting innovative, place-based adaptation projects. To maximise project outputs, the fund is intentionally designed to foster collaboration between businesses, policymakers, local authorities, public bodies, health and care organisations, community groups and NGOs. A strong emphasis is placed on inclusivity and the creation of scalable, practical solutions.

Join the MACC Hub webinar series featuring expert speakers from research, policy, and practice, exploring transformational adaptation and climate resilience. These sessions bridge knowledge gaps across the UK’s four nations and support science-policy collaboration for real, local climate solutions.

The UK Government’s Climate Adaptation Research and Innovation Framework outlines a strategic approach to building national resilience in the face of climate change. Emphasising collaboration across research, policy, and industry, the framework identifies priority areas such as nature-based solutions, infrastructure resilience, and climate data integration.

The toolkit is intended to provide a supportive framework to enable local authorities to develop their risk assessments and adaptation pathways.

Climate Just is a free webtool for public service providers designed to: identify who is vulnerable to climate change and fuel poverty and why, highlight neighbourhoods where climate disadvantage is highest, explain the factors involved and help you decide what actions to take.

The article discusses the importance of improving soil health monitoring to support nature-based solutions in the UK.

Discover the Met Office's Local Authority Climate Service (LACS) tool that help UK Local Authorities and others understand climate risks and build resilience. Access local Climate Reports, explore the Climate Explorer, and find guidance on assessing risks and taking action to adapt to climate change.

Use this tool to see what the scientific research is saying about - How local climates will change? What health and community impacts may occur as a result? Who will be most vulnerable and why? Which adaptations to consider ?

Want to understand how climate change might play out in a local area and how to support them to design their future place with climate in mind?
