Climate change adaptation project
Climate change is not only a risk in itself to operational, teaching and research activities, but also a multiplier of many other risks. It is vital that considerations of climate change risks and how these risks can be minimised (through adaptation actions), do not become siloed within the remit of Sustainability or Estates Teams.
Two guides were developed by a Working Group of FHE sustainability and risk professionals, led by EAUC and HEBCoN (the Higher Education Business Continuity Network) with the support of adaptation specialists from AECOM.
A webinar introducing the two Guides, highlights why, and how, to effectively embed considerations of climate change risk within your existing risk and business continuity procedures.
A discussion paper produced by the Glasgow Caledonian University, aims to foster a conversation about the impacts of climate change, how they might affect our operations and what the University may need to do to manage potential risks.
