This British Standard gives recommendations and guidance to support organizations implementing adaptation pathways (APs). APs can be used within a broader planning process or as a stand-alone adaptation planning tool, in order to assist organizations to create long-term plans and make decisions within the uncertainty and risks of a changing climate.

NOTE 1 BS EN ISO 14090 provides a full framework for implementing an adaptation plan and can be used in conjunction with this British Standard.

This British Standard sets out a nine-step process for developing and applying APs. It includes guidance on each step, decision-making within the steps and continuous learning across the approach.

The intended users of this British Standard are adaptation professionals or persons assigned by an organization to use the standard (such as the environment or sustainability manager).

NOTE 2 The information that results from the implementation of this British Standard can benefit strategic planners and decision makers within organizations who are involved in making short, medium and long-term decisions and adaptation plans.
