The Climate <strong>Adaptation</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> has been produced following a<br />
five step process developed by the CLIMATE Project. Working<br />
with partners from Climate Northern Irel<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Climate<br />
Irel<strong>and</strong> the process includes establishment of a Council<br />
Climate <strong>Adaptation</strong> Working Group.<br />
Including representation across a broad range of Council<br />
services <strong>and</strong> departments the Working Group held a series of<br />
workshops <strong>and</strong> meetings following the adaptation planning<br />
process below.<br />
As the first Council adaptation plan, we recognize that this is<br />
the beginning of our adaptation journey <strong>and</strong> as such, the scope<br />
of the five-year plan focuses on:<br />
• ‘getting our own house in order’ <strong>and</strong><br />
• ‘leading by example’.<br />
<strong>Adaptation</strong> planning is an iterative process which involves<br />
ongoing review <strong>and</strong> updates with the emergence of new risks,<br />
research <strong>and</strong> changing local conditions.<br />
