Notice Title
Climate Scenario Decision Tool
Notice Description
The project will draw lessons for potential development of national-level guidance and/or decision support tool to support: - use of future climate scenarios/hazards in today's decision-making. - partners to collaborate on cost effective investments and plans, for example by establishing shared planning assumptions on future climate scenarios/hazards relevant to their particular place and context. - Use of the latest science and information on climate projections and tipping points. Findings will supplement the Scottish National Adaptation Plan (SNAP3) consultation responses and will inform the finalised SNAP3 (expected September 2024) and the updated statutory guidance on Public Bodies Climate Change Duties (expected in 2025). The project will deliver: 1. A review of existing policy, guidance and stakeholder practice on use of future climate scenarios/hazards when making plans or investment decisions, including resources and practice in the UK and in comparable jurisdictions. 2. Identify common themes across existing guidance and stakeholder practice. 3. Discuss options and make recommendations for further development of national-level decision-making support aimed at supporting partners in Scotland to collaborate and to take future climate scenarios/hazards into account in today's decision-making. The research should consider proportionality in any decision-support option - for example considering when a simpler approach is appropriate.
