Adaptation case studies

This set of adaptation case studies was one of the outputs from the Well Adapting East Midlands project with upper tier local authorities in 2011/12. The aim was to provide a range of examples of how adaptation is being delivered in practice across the East Midlands. They include different approaches to the management of flood risk (the main climate risk to the whole of the region) in urban, rural and coastal areas, adaptation and the natural environment, sustainable urban drainage, adaptation and the built environment (in new build and existing stock) and the management of extreme weather events, including severe cold in the upland areas of Derbyshire.

We are grateful to our team of local Climate Change Project Officers who did most of the work on these for their host councils.

Well Adapting East Midlands

Well Adapting East Midlands is one strand of activity in the Climate East Midlands Skills Programme.  This project will provide continuing support to local authorities and their strategic partners in becoming more resilient to extreme weather and better adapted to the future climate.

The first project milestone was to publish a series of Local Climate Impact Profiles for the East Midlands, each of which can be downloaded below. These short research projects looked at the impacts of extreme weather on local areas, communities and public services to see how well prepared local authorities in particular are for the current and future climate.
