How well is Scotland Preparing for Climate Change?

Description

This is the Adaptation Sub-Committee of the UK Committee on Climate Change's first report focusing on Scotland. Following reports on how well the UK is prepared to deal with climate change, the ASC was asked by the Scottish Government to undertake an evaluation of how well Scotland is preparing for climate change. This report provides an independent assessment of Scotland’s preparedness for climate change, based on the ASC’s preparedness ladder. The aim of the report is to help inform the development of Scotland’s first statutory Adaptation Programme and to provide a baseline to measure future progress.
