Further Guidance: Climate Adaptation for NHS Organisations

Climate Adaptation Framework for NHS organisations – Further Guidance

• Assign named leads (Task OC3C see Organisational Culture) for adaptation actions within your action plan. • Report progress with implementing actions on a regular basis. This will allow you to communicate successes and highlight barriers to implementation. • Build support and awareness of the benefits of adaptation actions by communicating successful implementation of actions. This helps build on the success of implementing actions to explore opportunities for further, more ambitious actions. PI2C Engage with relevant NHS internal structures and processes to plan for adaptation Have an engagement plan for engaging with other areas of the NHS. Start to set out an understanding of roles and responsibilities for different areas of adaptation between these structures (e.g., estates, ops, community resilience). Ensure this information feeds into your adaptation action plan (see PI2B).

Advanced Maturity Tasks PI3A Appraisal of adaptation options

Develop an appraisal process for selecting and prioritising from an emerging set of adaptation options. This will allow your organisation to consider a range of factors and help identify robust, acceptable, efficient and effective measures that can be taken forward in an action plan.

Further guidance:

• If appropriate, use decision support tools, such as:

Economic appraisals

o

Cost benefit analysis

o

Cost effectiveness analysis

o

o Multi criteria decision analysis (could include co-benefits, efficacy, feasibility, resource availability, timing/urgency, climate justice)

Adaptation pathways assessment

o

• Record your decision making process in a transparent fashion so that governance group and decision makers can assess the structured appraisal for each of the options in relation to selected criteria and why actions have been prioritised over the short, medium and long term.
