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.
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. For Local Authorities, undertaking a local climate impact profile (LCLIP) is one way for local authorities to meet Level 1 of National Indicator 188 – planning to adapt to climate change.
