The Scottish Government today launched, without any fanfare, the ‘Scottish Climate Change Adaptation Programme’. Government is required to produce this programme by the Climate Change (Scotland) act 2009, and it sets out the policies and proposals that Government believes are needed to help Scotland adapt to huge changes in our climate. The vitally important plan was not accompanied by a media release, and was launched in the shadow of the Government’s updated plan (RPP2), which was published only yesterday and widely criticised by climate change campaigners.
