Understanding the impacts of environmental change Scotland’s environment is changing as a result of a number of pressures. The way that we respond to these changes will affect the places where we live, work and play. We believe that taking a collaborative approach to understanding and responding to environmental change will have the greatest benefit for people and places. Use the links below to read more about the impacts of these environmental pressures and how we build collaborations to prepare and respond Environmental pressures are the activities and factors that cause environmental change. They include land use, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental pollution. Sniffer is involved in projects to understand the impacts of these environmental pressures on people and places. Our work is currently focused on: Managing Flood Risk Understanding the impacts of climate change and how we can adapt Improving Scotland’s air quality Environmental pressures are influenced by our consumption and behaviour patterns. Sniffer is involved in projects that look to understand behaviours and how our values influence behaviour, see our work on Climate Conversations Manage Cookie Preferences
