This masterclass in Systems Thinking focused on helping practitioners move beyond linear approaches to planning, and instead understand the wider systems shaping climate risks and responses.

On the 26th February the MACC Hub hosted an interactive online Climate Risk Tools Workshop for Wales led by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of East Anglia and Severn Estuary Partnership. It was attended by public sector organisations and individuals from across Wales who came together to find out more about how to access and use climate risk data and tools to support climate risk and adaptation planning.

The National Infrastructure Resilience Demonstrator (NIRD) project has developed an open-source modelling framework to understand how extreme weather, particularly flooding, disrupts the UK’s road network.

The Met Office has updated its Local Authority Climate Service (LACS), providing higher-resolution climate data, improved insights into extremes, and new case studies to support local adaptation planning and decision-making.

Paludiculture is the productive land use of wet and rewetted peatlands that preserves the peat soil and thereby minimizes CO2 emissions and subsidence.

This project is developing new ways of mapping the social and cultural value of trees to inform policy decisions regarding urban treescapes in the UK.

The Ocean Literacy Strategy Wales sets out a collaborative, long-term approach to strengthening people’s connection with the sea, supporting informed action, resilient marine ecosystems and community wellbeing across Wales.

The MACC Hub supports place-based climate adaptation projects across the UK. Ten projects have now been awarded funding to address local climate risks and deliver practical, scalable solutions.

The Three Horizons Toolkit has been developed by Public Health Wales and the Future Generations Commissioner’s Office to help public bodies avoid making decisions that don’t stand the test of time. It is based on a model developed by Bill Sharpe and the International Futures Forum.

People-environment interactions within nature-based solutions (NBS) are not well understood. As an asset NBS includes both natural capital and human-centred capital. NBS also exist as a system with which people can interact. .

This toolkit is designed to help communities in Pembrokeshire build resilience to the increased risks from climate change, such as extreme weather, sea level rise and risk of wildfire.

The Rapid Adaptation Pathways Assessment (RAPA) Toolkit is a facilitator's guide for implementing a workshop-based approach to climate adaptation planning.

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

This policy brief explores flood and coastal erosion risk management (FCERM) governance in Wales, examining current frameworks, key challenges, and opportunities to build resilience.

The research analyses the impact of changes to the world of work, climate and demographic change on existing inequality.

The River Severn Partnership is a cross-sector collaboration that takes a ‘systems-based approach’ to managing the river network to enhance regional wellbeing and prosperity.

The Fairbourne Coastal Risk Management Learning Project explores how climate change threatens coastal communities, drawing lessons from Fairbourne on engagement, governance, infrastructure, and adaptation. The report provides insights to guide future shoreline management planning in Wales.

The Newgale Coastal Adaptation project allows people to influence the decisions about what adaptation could look like, understanding how it may affect them.
