For local staffThis page is mainly for government and municipal officials and researchers.


Regarding the formulation and revision of Local Climate Change Adaptation Plans, reference materials and useful tools are introduced for each of the procedures from STEP1 to 8 of the Local Climate Change Adaptation Plan Formulation Manual.


Procedures for formulating/modifying Local adaptation plans are assumed as shown in the figure below, and the work and reference information in each STEP are explained. The STEPs shown in light blue are to be implemented mainly by the lead department (e.g. environment department), while the STEPs shown in orange are to be implemented mainly by the lead department in cooperation with the relevant departments where climate change impacts are occurring.
