Organisational Culture and Resources To make progress with climate adaptation, it will need to align with your organisational culture and resources. By developing this capability, you will find ways to align adaptation activities with your organisation’s priorities. Over time, adaptation will become mainstreamed into plans, policies and procedures – part of business as usual for your organisation.
Maturity Stage: Starting
Maturity Stage: Intermediate
OC1A Consider how adaptation fits with your organisation and its objectives
OC2A Secure resources to plan and deliver adaptation
Your organisation will need committed resources – human, physical, financial, information and intellectual – to progress with adaptation. You need to secure those needed for short-term activities – but also look ahead at likely future needs. Consider both internal and external sources, including funding which could be accessed by linking to other policy areas such as net-zero, biodiversity, wellbeing.
Identify how adaptation impacts delivery of your organisation’s strategic objectives. You will need to start to identify relevant groups and decision-making processes that will need to consider adaptation.
OC1B Identify resources available for adaptation
OC2B Engage with colleagues to identify adaptation opportunities across functions
Climate change adaptation will involve many tasks requiring a range of different resources – human, physical, financial, information and intellectual. Identify who will be involved in your adaptation work, and survey resources that already exist within your organisation that will enable you to plan and deliver future work.
Your organisation will (or could) be delivering adaptation measures through many of its functions (or service areas). By actively engaging colleagues across your organisation, you can identify opportunities to include adaptation in planned work – as well as identifying key teams to lead on specific actions.
