Description

We show how much Scotland’s climate has already changed and how it may potentially change in the future, including extremes what this means for Scotland’s Natural Capital. Outputs achieved substantial impact through raising awareness amongst policy teams, agencies and businesses. It achieved capacity building within policy teams and politicians and associated conceptual change though recognition of urgency for action due to improved understanding of the scale of change and spatial and temporal variability of climate impacts and consequences. There is instrumental change evidenced by the emphasis for action now reflected in the Scottish National Adaptation Plan and Climate Change Plan.
