Yesterday, the Adaptation Scotland programme hosted Scotland’s Regional Climate Adaptation Partnerships: From Foundations to Maturity—a vital discussion on scaling place-based climate resilience. How do we extend these collaborations across Scotland by 2029? A thread 🧵👇

With the Scottish National Adaptation Plan (SNAP3) aiming for mature partnerships across Scotland by 2029, we must move from strategy to action.
Today’s discussions helped shape a roadmap for the future 🗺️
Huge thanks to all speakers, including Acting Minister for Climate Action, Dr Alasdair Allan MSP, and everyone who contributed!
What are your key takeaways for scaling regional adaptation? Let’s keep the conversation going! ⬇️ #ClimateAdaptation #Scotland

🌍 Collaboration is key to Scotland’s climate resilience.
Yesterday, First Minister John Swinney reaffirmed the Scottish Government’s commitment to a just transition to net zero—one that abandons no community and harnesses partnerships to drive action.
We welcome this call for collaboration and look forward to working alongside government, communities, and partners to deliver the transformational change needed for a climate-resilient Scotland.
Let’s unite behind the shared value of climate action—our prosperity and wellbeing depend on it.
