Acknowledgement Sniffer would like to thank Film City Glasgow for its support with this project, for showing Sniffer around the wonderful facilities, and for the experience and insight that staff shared with the risk assessors. We are also grateful to the Scottish Trades Union Congress and UNISON for their work on the Climate Hazards and Vulnerabilities in the Workplace resources. This project was made possible through funding from Glasgow City Council Green Business Support Programme.
1. Who will be most vulnerable to climate risks? 2. Who may need support to increase their resilience? 3. Where is already experiencing weather-related impacts/damage? 4. What is business critical/safety critical and must be protected? The next set help us understand when we should consider climate risks and implement adaptation action. The third set take us through a climate risk assessment. A final set of tables helps us to translate risks into resilience actions for different types of workplaces. These resources can be downloaded for free from the Adaptation Scotland website .
The Climate Hazards and Vulnerabilities Workplace resources The Climate Hazards and Vulnerabilities Workplace resources were developed by Sniffer in partnership with the STUC and UNISON Scotland as part of the Adaptation Scotland programme. They contain advice and checklists to identify and address climate hazards and vulnerabilities. As it is generally not possible to increase the resilience of an entire workplace or workforce simultaneously, climate change action will need to be balanced against other risks and competing pressures. Resilience action, therefore, needs to be targeted. Thinking about where we need to act first to make a workplace climate safe depends on the sector, workplace and location. The first set of checklists in the Tools for Practical Action Today workbook help us understand where we should consider climate risks and prioritise adaptation action.
