Blue Planet Fund
Defra and FCDO jointly manage the £500 million Blue Planet Fund (BPF) to support developing countries to reduce poverty and protect the marine environment. Working on the BPF, we are recommending and evidencing a list of countries offering the greatest opportunities for impact, ranking the five priority regions, and producing a robust, evidence based, theory of change.
Microsoft 365 Rollout
CoreAzure were selected by NatureScot to be their delivery partner rolling out Microsoft 365 across the organisation, providing expert advice and guidance to enable their staff to work remotely, to increase productivity, improve business resilience, and to further exploit the opportunities offered by the cloud-based solutions, as outlined in the Scottish Government’s Digital Strategy.
Climate Change Adaptation
Responding to the latest evidence published by the Climate Change Committee, Methods have been engaged by Defra to proactively identify and manage gaps and opportunities for Defra and other government departments to manage the risks that climate change poses to their policy objectives. This includes risk analysis and developing a full project plan to manage the overall design and development of the government’s next National Adaptation Programme (2023-28).
