London scoping - ukcip

Aim of the Workshop
Final Report
237
The aim of the main stakeholder workshop was to highlight a broad range of issues around the
impacts of climate change in London, from a variety of stakeholder perspectives. The
information gained at this event was used to inform the project workstreams through
prioritisation of key impacts for more detailed discussion and analysis and also to create
stakeholder contacts for involvement in these workstreams.
The Stakeholders
The LCCP provided comprehensive lists of potential stakeholders for the workshop. These
were combined with Entec’s existing contacts and from potential participants recommended by
the GLA. Over 150 stakeholder organisations were invited by e-mail to attend the workshop.
Stakeholders invited were from businesses and organisations representing the following areas:
• Central Government;
• Local Government (planning and economic development);
• Environment and Sustainable Development;
• Transport;
• Health;
• Local partnerships;
• Housing;
• Utilities;
• Development and investors;
• Landowners;
• Construction;
• Insurance;
• Business and commerce (trade associations).
It was considered important to engage a range of stakeholders to provide a cross-section of
views from across London. There was a great deal of interest in the project resulting in around
70 stakeholders attending the workshop.
Approach
Briefing material was provided to the stakeholders prior to the workshop, this included the
following:
• Agenda;
• Characterisation of London (a document summarising the key characteristics of
London and their vulnerability to climate change impacts); and
