Outer Hebrides: Climate Rationale and Case for Action

29th August, 2024

Outer Hebrides Case for Action report

Between 2019 and 2022, Adaptation Scotland worked closely with the Outer Hebrides Community Planning Partnership’s Climate Change Working Group to support climate adaptation planning in the islands.

This project culminated in the publication of two reports:

  • A Climate Rationale, setting out a shared understanding of the climate challenge in the Outer Hebrides, based on evidence gathered from member organisations of the Community Planning Partnership and local communities
  • A Case for Action, outlining the Climate Change Working Group’s vision, purpose and priorities for action to adapt to climate impacts and improve climate resilience in the Outer Hebrides

These two reports have subsequently informed Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Climate Change Strategy.
