Climate Change Risk Assessment and Adaptation Opportunities Assessment for the New Forest National Park

Description

There is unequivocal evidence that the global climate is already warming, and the continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and changes in the climate system. Regardless of how successful local, regional, national and global mitigation efforts prove to be, the legacy of past and current greenhouse gas emissions means that climate change over the next few decades is now unavoidable. New Forest National Park Authority (the NPA) is working with partners to significantly scale up action to address the climate emergency and nature crisis. We require consultancy support to provide us with a National Park-specific understanding of local climate change projections and to develop a bespoke climate change risk and opportunity register. We anticipate that this is a predominantly desk-based commission to identify the vulnerabilities, risks and opportunities that the National Park does and will face as the climate continues to change.
