The overall framework for the research will be the UKCIP risk and decision making methodology. This involves a circular process, allowing the performance of decisions to be reviewed in an iterative fashion. The screening, evaluation and prioritisation of climate risks and options are then possible.
The
research agenda is set
out as a series of interlinked
research questions. Click

Approach
Q2: Exploring visitor response to climate change How might regional patterns of visitor behaviour (tourist demand) be expected to change under the UKCIP climate change scenarios for the 2020s and the 2050s?
Q5: Influence of climate change on environmental capacity What do we mean by environmental capacity and how might this be influenced by climate change and related drivers (e.g. sea level rise) especially in the coastal zone and rural uplands?
Q7: Case study analysis of capacity building in less vulnerable locations To
what extent can new ‘climate
proof’ capacity
be generated in less
vulnerable locations,
including Regional Park
Resources; will this
result in win-win solutions
in terms of adaptation
to and mitigation of
climate change impacts?
