No direction has been issued since May 2015 under Section 62 of the Climate Change Act 2008. As required by Section 65 of the Act, the second strategy for exercising the power under Section 62 of the Act (the adaptation reporting power) was published alongside the first National Adaptation Programme report in July 2013.
