Recommendation
The next National Adaptation Programme is also a critical opportunity to enhance the resilience of UK CNI to the effects of climate change. To improve join-up between the Government’s parallel programmes on resilience and adaptation, we recommend that the new Minister for CNI Resilience and Defra’s Minister for Climate Adaptation meet on a regular basis—every six weeks at a minimum—to ensure that the NAP delivers a clear programme of activity to enhance the resilience of UK CNI to the effects of climate change and extreme weather. The 2023 NAP should draw strongly on the recommendations made in this report, and on those generated by the National Infrastructure Commission and the Climate Change Committee. The two Ministers should report to us jointly by the end of March 2023 on progress against this recommendation. (Paragraph 93) Local resilience forums
