Climate Adaptation Framework for NHS organisations – Further Guidance
To get the most out of the resource There is a downloadable PDF booklet that covers 43 recommended tasks contained across maturity stages in each capability. The booklet can be found here, and includes a high-level description of each task to provide a concise summary of the framework. This document includes further explanation, guidance, and extra relevant links for each task. 1. Look through the headline tasks in each capability to gain an initial understanding of the actions involved and how capabilities link together. 2. Consider what tasks you have completed as an organisation and therefore what maturity level you feel you are at for each capability (your baseline). This will then help you plan your future actions to become an organisation more prepared for effectively adapting to climate change. 3. Use the further guidance in this document to help you understand and act on the tasks suggested. Other existing resources on Climate Change, Adaptation, and its relevance to the NHS are linked to throughout the framework to explore as well, and key definitions on climate change, the risks, and adaptation tailored towards a healthcare audience can be found at the bottom of this document.
