Adaptation Scotland are supporting partners within Tayside (Dundee, Angus and Perth and Kinross) to develop a new Regional Adaptation Partnership to address climate risks at a regional scale.
The Partnership is at a very early stage in its development and are currently undertaking stakeholder engagement activities to involve a wide range of people and organisations across the region in defining a shared vision and priorities for the new partnership.
Over the course of this year, the Partnership aims to have a shared vision and approach to collaborative working that will support a business case to secure long term funding and support for adaptation action in Tayside.
