Climate Adaptation Framework for NHS organisations – Further Guidance
Further guidance:
• Develop a theory of change. A Theory of Change is a strategic planning tool that encourages an outcomes focused approach to adaptation. The process of developing a Theory of Change begins with looking at the big picture or long-term outcome and then identifying the steps needed to achieve the outcome using a causal pathway of actions. For each action relevant assumptions, thresholds and indicators should be identified. For full detail on these steps and more information on Theory of Change (ToC) approach for climate adaptation, read ‘Guidance note 3: Theory of Change approach to climate change adaptation programming’ by UKCIP. • Develop adaptation pathways. An applied adaptation pathway is a way of identifying, appraising and sequencing adaptation options through a participatory process. A key part of the pathways approach is identifying trigger points and / or thresholds which would lead to a decision point. The Adaptation Pathways Network have developed a useful users guide to Adaptation Pathways including an overview of key Steps and illustrated examples of completed pathway diagrams.

Further Guidance on Working Together
No organisation can adapt alone, by working together we can do more to achieve shared adaptation outcomes. By developing this capability, you will forge connections with key partners to share ideas and find opportunities to collaborate. You will benefit from engaging with a diverse range of stakeholders to help shape your adaptation plans.
Our Climate Adaptation Framework includes eight tasks across the four maturity levels to support your capability around Working Together:
5 Table showing the eight tasks within the Working Together Capability. You can read these eight tasks below.
Starting Maturity Tasks WT1A Join and participate in relevant professional and adaptation networks. Join networks and professional institutions to develop connections with others working on adaptation. You will benefit from shared learning and opportunities to work together, formally or informally.
