<p>The UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) was established by the Government&#146;s
Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) to provide a
stakeholder-led assessment of climate change impacts on the UK, some of which we are
already committed to and must adapt. The Government appreciates that many organisations in
the UK will have to make strategic and often costly decisions to adapt to the direct
impacts of climate change. UKCIP is intended to help organisations assess their
vulnerability to climate change and to plan appropriate adaptation strategies. It brings
together those from the public and private sector with responsibilities for accommodating
the effects of climate change to undertake sectoral- and regional-based impact assessments
within an integrated national framework.</p>
<p align="left">The aim of UKCIP is to encourage the undertaking of policy-focused,
stakeholder-driven research that provides users with the information they require to adapt
to climate change, rather than to initiate top-down driven research independent of user
needs. The DETR, which has the policy lead on climate change issues within Government,
will draw on findings from UKCIP studies to inform Government policy on the need to
mitigate and adapt to climate change. </p>
