Climate change is happening now...

Climate change is one of the most serious threats globally. In Scotland, we are already feeling the effects with rising temperatures and more frequent winter storms impacting on our lives, our environment and the economy. Much of the change in climate over the next 30 - 40 years is already determined by our past and present emissions. Scotland will be increasingly affected by climate change in the future and it is essential that we act now to adapt sustainably and reduce our emissions.

The Scottish Climate Change Impacts Partnership (SCCIP)

The Scottish Climate Change Impacts Partnership (SCCIP) was established to "increase the resilience of organisations and infrastructure in Scotland to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by the impacts of climate change".
