Living in a changing climate
-
Many people are becoming concerned by the impacts of climate change. The actions we can take to adapt to climate change depend on our individual circumstances, the places where we live, and things like proximity to the coast and the type of buildings we stay in.
It’s understandable that you may feel anxious or fearful about the future of our planet. However, it’s possible to use these feelings to fuel change and make a positive difference. YoungScot has lots of information about how to deal with ‘climate anxiety‘ and how to take action in your own way, while the Scottish Flood Forum provides practical advice and support to prepare for flooding events.

Adaptation involves being prepared for the impacts of climate change. So it’s helpful to know and understand how climate change impacts our places, to help us to identify which adaptation actions to take, and what we’re adapting to.
To learn more, explore our resources below. There is also a network of Climate Action Hubs across Scotland you can contact, supporting people to tackle climate change together in their local area. The Scottish Communities Climate Action Network (SCCAN) support community groups in Scotland to work together towards more resilient and nature-positive places.
