ADA responds to Strategy for the Fourth Round of Climate Adaptation Reporting

 

Consultation	Strategy for the Fourth Round of Climate Adaptation Reporting
By	Defra
Closed	05 April 2023
Summary	The Adaptation Reporting Power (ARP) was introduced under the Climate Change Act 2008. It provides for infrastructure operators and public bodies to report on how they are addressing current and future climate impacts. Under the five yearly cycle of the Climate Change Act 2008, the government is required to set out and consult on its strategy for reporting. Within Defra’s proposed strategy for the fourth round were proposals to invite ADA to report on behalf of its internal drainage board members, given their important role and long history of representing internal drainage boards (IDBs). Defra recognised that given their size it would be disproportionate to seek individual reports from them all. Defra proposed to explore how the current individual reporting systems to Defra from each IDB (IDB1 return) could be enhanced to facilitate collection of the necessary information for ARP reporting by ADA.
