This can be part of the combined authority's overall risk register, or a stand alone document.
Point would be awarded if the local authority includes climate related risk on their wider risk register.
We are looking for how they are incorporating climate risks as part of its adaptation to climate change therefore we will only accept explicit references to climate environmental risks in the local area (such as flooding, extreme heat, migration, air pollution or others).
Criteria met if the combined authority has accurately identified the environmental risks of climate change to the local area, either in a stand alone climate change or adaptation risk register, or incorporated into the combined authority's corporate risk register. There must be an explicit link between climate change and the increased risk of flooding or other weather events.
Adaptation plans are not valid, unless there is a risk register or equivalent within the adaptation plan.
