Adapting to our Climate: Building Community Resilience in the Forth Valley
Rural Stirling & Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park
Join us throughout November in events across Stirling, Falkirk, Clackmannanshire, and the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park to explore what adaptation measures could be used in your community. Together we’ll look at tools, best practice and delve into how they can help us to evidence the need for climate adaptation, implement community-level actions, and find ways to collect and share data across the region. Each session will include a snapshot of the relevant policies and plans in each locality and their relevance for community organisations. There will be the opportunity to provide input and steer the direction of our upcoming Climate Leadership programme as well as more information on how to apply.
Agenda:
10:00 - 12:00 Adaptation and Capacity Building Discussion and Input
