Tuesday 25 February 2025, 10 am – 3.15 pm, Edinburgh Climate Change Institute and online

The 3rd Scottish National Adaptation Plan has set an ambition to extend mature regional collaborations on adaptation to all of Scotland by 2029. The Scottish Government will be starting work with local government partners in 2025 to develop a route map to achieving this ambition. Join the Adaptation Scotland programme alongside current and prospective regional partnerships from across the country to reflect on the success of collaborations to date, to share learning and innovation, and to identify shared challenges and opportunities ahead.

• To enable established, emerging and potential regional climate adaptation partnerships to raise the profile of their work, and to share learning and innovation from across Scotland and beyond

• To inform the Scottish Government’s approach to working with local government partners and others to develop a routemap by 2025 for extending mature regional adaptation collaborations to all of Scotland by 2029

This free event is for any public, private or third sector organisations currently, or seeking to work collaboratively to build climate resilience at a regional scale across Scotland including local authorities, NGOs, businesses, government agencies, infrastructure operators, researchers and government.
