Question · Action Scorecards 2025
Criteria met if the councils' Corporate or Strategic Risk Register references the impact of climate change to the local area.
There must be an explicit link between climate change and the increased risk of extreme weather events. The Risk Register must link to or reference mitigating actions (such as an adaptation strategy or other actions).
The Corporate or Strategic Risk Register must included identified risks and suggested actions on one or more of the following areas: changes in climate and extreme weather, planning & land use, transport, energy generation, biodiversity and food.
Flood risk management strategies are not valid as councils already have a statutory duty to produce stand alone flood risk management strategies.
Adaptation plans are not valid, unless they are linked from the Corporate or Strategic Risk Register.
Reference only to reputational or policy risks about not meeting a net zero target date is not enough for a mark, there must be reference to the real life impacts of climate change to get a mark.
