The Cornwall Adaptation Strategy will set out a framework for how Cornwall will manage climate risks. There will be a particular focus on the interaction with climate change. The aim is to reduce the impacts on our economy, society and environment. It will build on:
- the Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly climate adaptation strategy
- existing Cornwall Council policy.
The strategy will provide principles and strategic direction for adaptation action. The emphasis will be on the local level for Cornwall’s highest risks. It will include a blueprint for community adaptation plans. These will support detailed community level planning, based on each community’s priorities and vulnerabilities. Evidence for these is being built through pilot locations. The strategy's development will take place during 2024 – 2025.
