It is recommended to encompass actions into the implementation plan. Once completed, key personnel can assume responsibility and begin implementing the adaptation actions.

Likewise consideration of potential adverse cumulative and in-combination environmental effects must be accounted for in selecting and implementing specific actions. Consideration of environmental sensitivities under the Habitats Directive and Water Framework Directive for example are important in the context of potential adverse cumulative or in-combination effects.

In implementing the actions of this strategy Cork County Council will seek to ensure that any potential environmental impacts are minimized. Actions will be examined in the context of potential co-benefits including measures such as human health, biodiversity enhancement and protection, improvement in water quality, management of areas at risk of flooding and sustainable landuse zoning and development practices. It would be important that actions yielding multiple environmental and societal benefits are prioritized.

For the purpose of monitoring and reporting on progress, mal-adaptation will be identified and approaches to counter this will be explored thoroughly and put in place.

As mentioned throughout the Adaptation Strategy, the Local Authority will be required, as considered necessary, to liaise with other key stakeholders to provide for the delivery of actions. By the same token, the sectors, as identified in the National Adaptation Framework, will engage and liaise with Local Authorities in the delivery of sectoral adaptation actions stemming from their respective adaptation plans. To expand on the practical delivery of actions of this strategy an implementation plan will be developed. The requirements of the SEA Directive and Habitats Directive will be critical considerations in the implementation plan as is necessary and appropriate and as they apply to individual projects in the course of their progression and development.
