The UK's NAP3 outlines a comprehensive strategy over the next five years to enhance the country's resilience to climate change. Building on previous initiatives, it aims to address current and future climate impacts through coordinated action across sectors.

Key Focus Areas

• Infrastructure: Implementing a strategic resilience framework and accelerating investment in water quality and supply to safeguard critical infrastructure.
• Natural Environment: Incorporating climate adaptation into land management schemes, promoting nature recovery projects, and addressing climate hazards through local strategies.
• Health, Communities, and Built Environment: Investing in flood and coastal erosion schemes, deploying health plans for adverse weather, and updating planning policies to enhance resilience.
• Business and Industry: Collaborating with industry to deliver green finance strategies, strengthen supply chains, and support businesses in adapting to climate impacts.
• International Impacts: Tripling adaptation funding for vulnerable communities, driving international consensus on climate adaptation, and enhancing reporting mechanisms.

Adaptation Reporting Power: Streamlining reporting requirements to improve effectiveness, expanding scope to include additional sectors like health and food supply, and supporting evidence-based decision-making through research initiatives.
