It will assist organisations such as local authorities, health services, the Fire Service, Natural Resources Wales and the National Park Authorities assess how they may be affected by climate change and produce plans to manage it.

Environment Minister, John Griffiths, said: "It is very apt that we are launching this guidance during Climate Week. The Welsh Government is committed to taking action on things that benefit people’s everyday lives.

"We are all aware of the impact our changing, and at times extreme, weather can have on our neighbourhoods, cities and country. The guidance being published provides practical advice for public bodies to put in place sustainable plans to manage it.

"I look forward to seeing how organisations across Wales find positive solutions to address these challenges."
