Using your organisational resilience framework to develop a Climate Change Adaptation Plan

Using an existing organisational resilience framework to develop a Climate Change Adaptation Plan is an accompanying guide to Adapting universities and colleges to a changing climate: Making the case and taking action, which is available here. Both guides were produced through a collaborative project on climate change adaptation run collaboratively by EAUC and the Higher Education Business Continuity Network (HEBCoN), with the support of AECOM.

This Guide provides step-by-step advice on running your own Business Impact Analysis workshops to evaluate the risks presented by climate change to key organisational functions, and deciding on the actions required to reduce any significant risks. The document presents a seven step process to develop a Climate Change Adaptation Plan (CCAP). Each step outlines key related processes that may already exist within your FHEI. These processes may not exactly match your FHEI’s approach, but may be adapted to align with your institution’s current strategy.
