Tools & Resources

There is a wealth of tools and resources available to assist organisations, businesses, and communities to understand their vulnerability to climate change and to start taking actions to adapt to the projected changes in climate.

Many of these tools and resources have been developed by the UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) in Oxford and are available free of charge through their website. Adaptation Scotland uses and promotes many of UKCIP’s tools and they also provide a basis for the development of Scottish specific tools and resources. The most popular tools and resources are featured below with relevant links. Other resources which are specific to various sectors can be found in the 'Sectors' section.
