Business resilience in Corby and Derby
4th February 2014
Towards the end of January 2014, Climate East Midlands ran two further business resilience workshops in Corby and Derby. Blasts of severe weather have become the norm for our resilience workshops: in Corby we had heavy rain and in Derby we had snow. Both workshops received positive feedback and the participating businesses left with a better understanding of how they could act to increase their resilience to severe weather and climate change.
Waterpower in Derby
16th November 2012
Derby City Council showcased some of its pioneering work on climate change this week, with the River Derwent looming large. This was the second in a programme of peer learning days organised by Climate East Midlands and follows the first successful event in Kettering, Northamptonshire in October.
Case Studies highlight resilience
2nd October 2012
A set of nine case studies is published today which illustrate how local authorities across the East Midlands are adapting to the changing climate, during this year of weather extremes. Every city and county in the region is featured in the set and the geographical differences highlight the different climate risks that are faced by urban, rural, upland and coastal areas. This new resource is one of the outputs from the £950k East Midlands Climate Change Skills Programme, supported by East Midlands Improvement and Efficiency Partnership.
