Climate ready Scotland: Scottish climate change adaptation programme (2014)
This is the first 5-year Scottish Climate Change Adaptation Programme, which addresses the impacts identified for Scotland in the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). It sets out Scottish Ministers' objectives in relation to adaptation to climate change, their proposals and policies for meeting those objectives, and the period within which those proposals and policies will be introduced.
The themes supporting the overarching aim of increasing the resilience of Scotland's people, environment, and economy to the impacts of climate change, are the following: (p. 8):
- climate ready natural environment;
- climate ready building and infrastructure networks;
- climate ready society.
