Purpose

Climate Action Plan Cabinet report (SC/2020/03), to adopt the
Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plan (CARP) for

challenges and risks brought by climate change, particularly severe
weather events that have recently impacted Camden, such as flash
flooding and heatwaves. The plan identifies specific climate risks

effective implementation. The report highlights the importance of
