Public Sector Leadership

The public sector is subject to legislative duties that require action to adapt and report progress. It also has a unique leadership role in driving action and influencing change across society.
  • Our tools and resources are based on a strong understanding of public sector needs. The resources below have been developed in collaboration with professionals who are leading adaptation action across Scotland’s local authorities, health boards, universities and government agencies.
  • We are pleased to support an active network of adaptation practitioners across the public sector, through Scotland’s Public Sector Climate Adaptation Network (PSCAN).

Adaptation Capability Framework

The Adaptation Capability Framework identifies four capabilities that every public sector organisation will need to adapt to climate change, providing step by step tasks to guide your adaptation journey.

Public Sector Climate Adaptation Network

The public sector has a crucial role to play in enabling Scotland to adapt to climate change. The Network is now comprised of over 50 public bodies who work together to benchmark their progress and identify and share learning on climate change adaptation.
