<p>We are consulting local authorities on the development of the UK's third National
Adaptation Programme (NAP3). This is our long-term plan for building a more climate
resilient country and our response to the latest assessment of UK climate risks, which
is due for publication in 2023 and will run until 2028. This programme will address
the advice contained in the third and latest assessment of UK climate risk (CCRA3)
from January 2022, which included 61 climate risks and opportunities to the UK, including
those related to overheating and floods.</p><p> </p><p>We are primarily consulting
local authorities through the Local Adaptation Advisory Panel, a Defra-hosted forum
focused on climate adaptation issues that brings together central and local government,
as well as via the Local Government Association. We are also engaging with groups
like the Environment Board of the local representative organisation the Association
of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning and Transport (ADEPT).</p><p> </p><p>This
work builds on previous central-local government collaboration on the development
of previous NAPs, including NAP2. NAP2, published in 2018 and running until 2023,
includes actions for local government</p>
