Boost your climate adaptation knowledge with accredited training designed for West Midlands councillors and officers. Learn the science, risks, and practical actions to build resilient communities

Saturday 14 November marked the halfway point of COP30; a moment for negotiators to step out of closed rooms and take stock as the Subsidiary Bodies wrapped up their work. The state of play for adaptation? Rocky at best.

On September 25, we reached an exciting milestone: the first-ever MACC Hub Conference, hosted by Verture, part of the Hub's Scotland Spoke. Over 200 people from across research, policy, and practice came together to share ideas, spark collaboration and turn climate adaptation from theory into real, practical action. Here’s a look back at the day: the highlights, the insights and where we’re heading next.

The Skell Valley Project restores nature, protects heritage, and builds climate resilience through flood management, habitat recovery, and community engagement.

A new report, released in May 2024, provides a vital blueprint for local authorities across the United Kingdom grappling with the impacts of climate change.

The research analyses the growing risk of surface water flooding in London and outlines a collaborative strategy to build resilience for communities, the environment, and the economy.

The report, "Turning up the heat," published in February 2024, draws on firsthand accounts from 38 frontline decision-makers and responders. Their collective testimony paints a grim picture of a nation whose policies, infrastructure, and public awareness are failing to keep pace with a rapidly warming climate.

The research analyses the impact of climate change on the interdependencies between London's land-based transport sector and other critical infrastructure like power, water, and telecoms.

This Carbon Brief guest post explores whether climate change is making UK droughts worse, examining evidence, key findings, and future water risks.

This case study explores the climate change adaptation initiative at Alice Holt Forest in southeast England, a project co-developed by Forest Research and Forestry England.

This case study examines the Resilient Roch project, a pioneering initiative in Rochdale, England, funded by the Flood and Coastal Resilience Innovation Programme (FCIP). The project addresses the interconnected climate and housing challenges faced by disadvantaged communities, whose poor-quality homes are often vulnerable to both flooding and energy inefficiency.

Essex County Council (ECC), in partnership with Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals, initiated the SPONGE 2020 project to retrofit the Basildon Hospital courtyard with a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS).

A project to develop adaptation capability within the NHS was carried out in 2024 by two independent organisations in the UK and three NHS organisations in the north of England. This article provides an overview of the project as a whole and what it hopes to achieve.

This article provides an introduction to writing a climate change adaptation plan and reporting on adaptation in the NHS as context for two documents that can be found in the resource section: a downloadable Adaptation Plan Template, and a guide for including adaptation in your Green Plan and other regulatory guidance related to adaptation in the NHS.
