Impacts

In 2006, the Scottish and Northern Ireland Forum For Environmental Research (SNIFFER) published a handbook on the patterns of climate change across Scotland.

Part-funded by SEPA, it presents changes in Scotland's climate in the last century and provides a benchmark against which we can measure future climate change and develop strategies to cope with its impact. The handbook, which includes analysis of historic data relating to temperature, rainfall, snowfall, air-pressure and sunshine, is available on the SNIFFER website:

The Scottish Climate Change Impacts Partnership (SCCIP) is an initiative that brings together stakeholders in Scotland to collectively address and prepare for the impacts of climate change.

Information about climate change impacts in Scotland can be found on the SCCIP website.

SCCIP has published a useful introduction to climate change adaptation for the Public Sector
