A climate adaptation framework for NHS organisations

PAGE 11

Planning & Implementation Adaptation is an ongoing challenge that requires strategic planning and implementation to achieve outcomes. By developing this capability, you will set appraised options into an adaptation strategy and action plan, adopting an approach that maintains flexibility and seeks pathways for an adaptation transition.

Maturity Stage: Starting

PI1A Define a strategic vision and outcomes for adaptation

PI1C Identify relevant NHS internal structures and requirements for adaptation

Planning adaptation will require you to interact with stakeholders from across the NHS. See how you fit into the existing NHS structure, mapping this out yourself if necessary. Start conversations about adaptation with existing NHS networks and structures and identify new ways to engage with internal structures and contacts to drive adaptation. Maturity Stage: Intermediate

Adaptation is an ongoing strategic challenge that you will need to align with your organisation’s purpose. You should develop a ‘climate ready’ vision and define adaptation outcomes that allow you to strategically plan an effective adaptation response.

PI1B Identify a range of existing and potential adaptation actions

Your organisation will already be taking actions that deliver adaptation, even if they are not always recognised. By identifying some of these actions you can demonstrate alignment with your organisation’s functions and show that you have already begun an adaptation journey. Compile an initial set of options for actions that your organisation could take, either alone or with partners. It is important to consider a wide range of actions, both short- and long- term, easy and difficult.

PI2A Develop an initial adaptation strategy and action plan

Carry out an initial adaptation strategy which can act as a catalyst for raising awareness and resourcing further adaptation work. At this stage, the focus is will mostly be on setting strategic objectives and capacity building initiatives.
