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
