Scotland's Climate Change Adaptation Framework

Scotland's Climate Change Adaptation Framework was published on December 8, 2009. It will play a vital role in building Scotland's resilience to the changing climate. The Framework sets the strategic direction for Scottish Government actions but, because many adaptation decisions are taken at a local level by individual organisations, action from across all sectors is needed. The Framework has been developed with a series of accompanying Sector Action Plans, which outline the key issues and planned activity for adapting. In November 2011, the Adaptation Sub-Committe (ASC) completed an assessment on "How well is Scotland Preparing for Climate Change", based primarily on a review of the Adaptation Framework and the Sector Action Plans.
