A new online resource can help your museum prepare for the effects of climate change.  Preparing for Change: climate-proof your tourism business is available at www.climateprepared.com and has been developed to suggest practical actions to reduce risk or take advantage of opportunities. 

 The result of a partnership between Climate South East, South West Climate Change Impacts Partnership, South West Tourism and Tourism South East, the toolkit is structured around the impacts of flooding, heatwave, and drought. Each section tells you how your organisation might be affected, suggests practical actions that you can take to reduce the risk or take advantage of the opportunities, and guides you to further information and support.

The checklist lets you record your progress quickly in adapting your business to climate change and provides you with a personalised action plan complete with signposts to relevant further help.
