Developing a Climate Change Impact Assessment Framework
The Sustainable Scotland Network (SSN) has launched a new practical guide for local authorities and other public bodies on developing and implementing a Climate Change Impact Assessment (CCIA) process.
A Climate Change Impact Assessment (CCIA) is intended to provide real value in determining the way decisions impact the climate. It can be a valuable tool for public bodies when putting net zero and adaptation commitments into practice or meet related statutory requirements.
Developed by the SSN Climate Change Impact Assessment Task and Finish Group, with support from the Improvement Service, the guidance aims to:
-
- set out areas to consider or questions to ask yourself when introducing a CCIA into your decision-making frameworks;
- show how you can achieve better value outputs;
- address some of the hurdles you will likely face, and;
- propose solutions to overcome these hurdles
