A project to develop adaptation capability within the NHS was carried out in 2024 by two independent organisations in the UK and three NHS organisations in the north of England. This article provides an overview of the project as a whole and what it hopes to achieve.

This article provides an introduction to writing a climate change adaptation plan and reporting on adaptation in the NHS as context for two documents that can be found in the resource section: a downloadable Adaptation Plan Template, and a guide for including adaptation in your Green Plan and other regulatory guidance related to adaptation in the NHS.

This Climate Adaptation Framework supports the UK's National Health Service (NHS) organisations to adapt to climate change.

Discover how the OPAL Water Survey investigated water quality across the UK and learn about what invertebrate indicator species can tell us about pollution levels in water bodies. This approach can be used to investigate potential influences of urban areas on water quality and thus resilience to environmental changes.

Learn about how a nation-wide survey and citizen science approaches can be used to better understand the relationship between urbanisation, vegetation and invertebrate diversity through the lens of the Bugs Count survey implemented in the UK.

How is human health directly affected by the weather, climate variability and climate change? This UN CC:e-Learn course will explain how mitigation and adaptation policies can benefit human health, and introduce tools to assess and integrate health within climate change strategies and vice versa.

Learn about how surveys were used to explore wellbeing in two low-middle income country cities: Nakuru and Udon Thani. Discover city characteristics that improve wellbeing and promote long-term livability.

Discover how survey tools can be applied in different geographical and cultural contexts to explore health and wellbeing. This page will introduce a range of external surveys and demonstrate their use in urban environments through SEI case studies.
