Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what delivery mechanisms she plans to include within the National Adaptation Programme to ensure that climate adaptation commitments are adopted across Government departments.

The third National Adaptation Programme (NAP3) report will mark the beginning of a five-year implementation period. The report will include a clear set of objectives for adaptation, with policies and accompanying delivery mechanisms to meet those objectives. Progress indicators, aligned to risks and opportunities set out in our third Climate Change Risk Assessment will also be developed as part of the NAP programme and will help the programme have a more targeted and effective approach to monitoring. In addition, programme governance will include monitoring of actions and reporting as required.
