Climate Adaptation Worksheet

Starting with the “Climate Change Adaptation Framework for Parks and Protected Areas”, developed by Canadian Parks Council, Heritage BC has developed an easy-to-follow workbook to guide you through the process and to support the implementation of your plan. We have supplemented each stop in the Framework with a series of questions, and we have developed a downloadable worksheet so that you can capture information in one place.

How to use the Climate Adaptation Worksheet

Tab 1: Climate Change Identification

screenshot of first tab in worksheet

For each threat that you identify (first column on left), complete the five cells to the right.

We have populated the first row in an example. This can be deleted.

Tab 2: Climate Change Risk Assessment

screenshot of second tab in worksheet

The threats that you identified on the first tab will automatically copy over to the green cells on the second tab. If you want to make changes to the green column, return to the first tab in the worksheet.

The cells marked in blue each have a drop-down list from which you will select the likelihood and consequence. First, click in a cell and look for the down arrow. Click the arrow and the drop-down list will appear. You will not be able to enter other information in these cells.

You can delete the sample information in the cells not marked in blue or green.

Tab 3: Risk Matrix

screenshot of third tab in worksheet

You will add the climate threats to the risk management matrix or chart. Your choices in the green cells on tab 2 become the coordinates for the matrix,

Our example:

  • We have identified the threat of fire
  • We assessed the likelihood as “likely” and the consequence as “severe”.
  • Using “likely” and “severe” as the coordinates, we enter fire in the matrix as indicated above.

You can delete the word “fire” in the matrix, as it is provided as an example only.

Tab 4: Measurements and Evaluation

Screenshot of fourth tab in worksheet

The cells marked in green will automatically fill with the information you identified on tab 2. This is for your convenience, so you do not need to move between tabs when completing this section.

Please delete the sample information; the information in the green cells will be automatically updated. To change information in the green cells, please return to tab 1 and tab 2.

As an organization of provincial scope, Heritage BC recognizes that its members, and the local history and heritage they seek to preserve, occupy the lands and territories of B.C.’s Indigenous peoples. Heritage BC asks its members and everyone working in the heritage sector to reflect on the places where they reside and work, and to respect the diversity of cultures and experiences that form the richness of our provincial heritage.
