Description
Scotland is facing many climate pressures, including increased risk of flooding, water scarcity and supply challenges. Remote coastal communities are at risk of these pressures but necessarily deal with them in ways different to more connected and larger settlements. This report presents the findings of an investigation into the perceptions of water-related issues, and the actions being taken by a number of case study remote coastal communities. Findings show resilience comes in the form of social capital, collaboration and community cohesion, while there are opportunities for related policy to support community endeavours.
