Here's what is required (leaving aside Theresa May's electorally hamstrung inability to deliver much of it): The entire cabinet and every business leader the government's black book can muster, on stage for the launch of the new strategy; an explicit declaration that this, full decarbonization of the economy, is the post-Brexit economic strategy; clear and attractive retail
policies, such as a diesel scrappage scheme, tax breaks for green investment, new apprenticeships, a green home building program; an open invitation to all opposition party leaders to share a platform to support the
plan with a declaration that while they may not agree on every component they fully endorse the over-arching goal; a willingness to shame those party leaders who play party politics and refuse to turn up; a fortnight - long program where each day sees a new cabinet member explain how the
plan will transform parts of the economy; a Royal Commission on the flaws of GDP as an economic measure and the viability of alternative quality of life metrics; and, yes, a brave assertion that carbon intensive industries will have to transform or be scaled back, backed by a decarbonization
adaptation fund to help affected communities respond to this global trend.

The incorporation of climate change
adaptation into each urban centre's development
planning, infrastructure investments and land - use management is well served by an iterative process within each locality of learning about changing risks and uncertainties that informs an assessment of
policy options and decisions.
In the conclusion to his «
Plan B» chapter (p 228), Bob Carter writes: «It is therefore time to move away from stale «he - says - she - says» arguments about whether human carbon dioxide emissions are causing dangerous warming, and on to designing effective
policies of hazard management for all climate change, based on
adaptation responses that are tailored for individual countries or regions... By their very nature, strategies that can cope with the dangers and vagaries of natural climate change will readily cope with human - caused change too should it ever become manifest.»
Because
adaptation policy requires decision - making amid uncertainties about future climate change and its impacts, the major pillars of
adaptation plans are iterative assessment, flexible and adaptive
planning, and enhancement of adaptive capacity.
Gustavo Mozzer, Researcher for the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) provided examples of how Brazil
plans to incorporate and assess

Furthermore, a report on a National Preparedness Goal [PDF] issued in September by the Administration (in response to the Presidential
Policy Directive on National Preparedness of March 30, 2011) entirely omits any mention of climate change — even though the
adaptation task force highlights the actions Federal agencies are taking to «to incorporate climate
adaptation into
planning, emergency preparedness, and disaster recovery to protect communities and reduce losses.»
Robust federal and state - level
policies and resources will be vital to help communities understand their risks, assess their choices, and implement
adaptation plans.
