The UK Adaptation Inventory (version 1) (Jenkins et al., 2021) has been compiled as part of
the [OpenCLIM][1] project.
The UK Adaptation Inventory documents adaptation on the ground, based on national reporting to
government by public and private sector organisations as part of the second round Adaptation Reporting Power Reports, and a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature.
The Inventory focuses on examples of delivering adaptation action ‘on the ground’. The
definition of adaptation action on the ground used here relates to a process of adjustment
to actual or expected climate and its effects, where actions reflect a tangible and physical
change in response that delivers adaptation action as opposed to building adaptive capacity or policies or strategies that outline intentions to act.
