Summary:

Background

The Adaptation Wizard is a web-based tool that is designed to take help users gain a basic understanding of climate change as well as integrate climate risks into their decision-making. It is a high-level, generic tool that is valuable to newcomers to the climate change issue, as well as those who are preparing to adapt.

The tool will take you through a 5-step process that will help you to assess your vulnerability to current climate and future climate change, identify options to address your key climate risks, and help you to develop a climate change adaptation strategy. You can begin on the Getting Started page and work steadily through the Wizard, answering the questions posed in each step, using the guiding principles and resources to inform your answers. The tool is specifically aimed at the UK context. It is more a decision-support than decision-making tool, and plays a valuable awareness-raising and educational role. The tool does walk users through an economic analysis of adaptation options and scenarios. More information>
