Climate Change Risk Assessment

Dr. Alan Netherwood (Netherwood Sustainable Futures) and Dafydd Thomas (Well-being Planner) were commissioned in March 2024 to undertake a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) for the Cwm Taf Morgannwg (CTM) area, by the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Public Services Board (CTM PSB).

The aim of this commission was to

explore how combinations of climate risks resulting from increasingly impactful, and frequent severe weather events might affect the landscape, infrastructure, services, assets and diverse communities across CTM

to understand the cumulative effects of a changing climate on CTM, and to begin to understand what issues may arise and where

to identify priorities for forward planning for climate risk across CTM, to inform partners’ approaches to climate adaptation
