Climate Adaptation
North Tyneside’s climate is changing. The hottest and the wettest years since records began have occurred within the last 10 years. With global temperatures set to increase, we will continue to see wetter winters, hotter and drier summers, and more frequent extreme weather events. North Tyneside must adapt and build resilience to these current and future impacts, so we can continue to deliver essential services. Our work on Climate Adaptation involves making purposeful and planned changes to lessen vulnerability and boost resilience to shifting conditions. Our Climate Adaptation Strategy has been developed with DEFRA’s Local Authority Reporting Pilot in mind and produced in collaboration with some organisations who already participate in national Climate Adaptation Reporting. We will be undertaking wider stakeholder engagement on future climate change scenarios in North Tyneside in 2025 to encompass climate risks across the whole Borough.
Our work on climate adaptation will be developed further in autumn 2025 as a specific strategy and action plan.
