Thinking about Climate Adaptation

What are the impacts and what can we do about it?

Have you wondered what Scotland will be like to live in 20, 30 or 50 years? Will spring arrive too early-or too late? Will we look forward to cosy autumn evening? Or dread winter's storm?

How will we live in this changing climate? What will our homes be like to live in, and what will be normal ways to heat, cool and power them? How will we get about? What will we plant in our gardens?

And, how will we respond—and cope with—extremes of weather? How will farmers be supported through drought and flood? What will we do to look after vulnerable people during heatwaves?

We know that climate change is happening, and no matter what we do now to reduce our carbon emissions, we are all going to experience the effects of a warming world.
