Glasgow is already feeling the impacts of climate change. This includes milder, wetter winters, more summer heatwaves, and more frequent, heavier downpours. We need to build resilience to these impacts and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions that are contributing to climate change. This means our neighbourhoods will need to look and feel very different if […]

Urban Greening for Heat Resilient Neighbourhoods – Research Project
Aligned with Climate Ready Clyde, Sniffer are supporting the Open University and Ming-Chuan University in Taiwan to undertake British Academy-funded research in Glasgow City and Taipei. The research aims to understand how communities in both cities have experienced extreme hot weather, and how trees and green spaces might help to reduce heat risk in the […]
Climate Vulnerability Map
One of the stretch targets of the Glasgow City Region Climate Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan is to increase the resilience of over 140,000 of the region’s most vulnerable people to the impacts of climate change.
To help monitor progress against this target, and to help decision-makers across the City Region to prioritise adaptation action where it is most needed, we have published a new Glasgow City Region Climate Vulnerability Map.
Delivering a Climate Neutral, Climate Resilient Glasgow City Innovation District
Climate Ready Clyde is involved in the steering group for the University of Strathclyde’s Climate Neutral, Climate Resilient Innovation District for Glasgow. Transforming our city and region to make it climate resilient and carbon neutral is going to take some radical thinking and decision making. The University of Strathclyde is leading a significant piece of […]

Cultural Adaptations is a Creative Europe project, led by Creative Carbon Scotland with partners in three EU countries, on culture’s role in society’s adaptation to climate, and the Adaptation issues that cultural organisations need to think about. The Project Cultural Adaptations is a co-operation project funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme, running from October […]
COACCH – Co-designing the Assessment Of Climate CHange costs
Climate Ready Clyde is one of the case studies in the Horizon 2020 project, COACCH (Co-designing the Assessment of Climate CHange costs) COACCH is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and carried out by a consortium of 14 European organisations. The final objective of COACCH is to produce an improved downscaled […]
OpenClim
Climate Ready Clyde is participating as a case study in OpenCLIM (Open Climate Impacts Modelling Framework). OpenCLIM is a project led by the Tyndall Centre on Climate Change, designed to support UK assessment of climate risks and adaptation, by developing and applying an integrated impact assessment model. It is a £2m project funded by the […]
