Kent's Adaptation Action Plan 2011-2013

The Kent Environment Strategy lays out how Kent partners will work together to address the major challenges and opportunities for Kent over the next 10-20 years. The second theme of the strategy rising to the Climate Change Challenge contains the priority to manage the impacts of climate change, in particular severe weather events. 
 
Kent partners have therefore been working together to meet this priority, identifying the opportunities and threats arising from our changing climate and taking action to address these. The Kent Adaptation Action Plan identifies the key actions we will be taking over the next two years in priority sectors, including Health & Social Care; Biodiversity and the Natural Environment; Kent Highway Services; Kent Communities; Kent Businesses; Public Sector Estate; Public Sector Staff; Waste Management and Planning.
