Current projects
The current range of projects Climate Ready Clyde is involved in to support adaptation in Glasgow City Region is listed below:
New project: Creative Climate Futures
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 […]Read More »
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 […]Read More »
