About our National Adaptation Programme news
Latest news on the National Adaptation Programme (NAP), a government initiative that sets out the actions that the UK will take to adapt to the challenges of climate change. It is based on the Climate Change Act 2008, which requires the government to publish a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) every five years and a National Adaptation Programme every five years thereafter. The NAP covers various sectors and themes, such as natural environment, health and wellbeing, infrastructure, business and industry, local government and communities. The NAP aims to reduce the risks and maximise the opportunities of climate change for the UK.
