Adaptation Scotland has published a new set of tools and resources for those working on adaptation to improve resilience to climate impacts in their place. These resources are aimed mainly at community groups and the third sector (such as those involved in Community Planning Partnerships, Community Councils or Community Land Trusts), but it is hoped they will be of interest and use to a wide range of people and partners.

Adaptation Scotland is funded by the Scottish Government and delivered by Sniffer. All resources can now be viewed on the Adaptation Scotland website, and include simple ‘how to-s’ for sessions to, for example:

• Introduce climate adaptation through an ‘Adaptation Whirlwind’ presentation
• Identify who needs to be involved with our Stakeholder and Power Mapping template and workshop outline
• Explore lived experience of climate impacts through a Participatory Mapping approach and Climate Impact Interviews
• Think more creatively about climate impacts and how to adapt through the use of Adaptation Personas

Adaptation Scotland has found these tools useful for working with our place-based partners, particularly in our Localities and Outer Hebrides partnerships and we hope they can help to inform climate ready planning and action in other places. For further information, contact [email protected]
