Glasgow City Region Adaptation Strategy - report

Together they provide a suite of actions for managing future risks and taking advantage of opportunities. The interventions are a statement of our ambition; of what we want to see happen over the next decade. The Climate Ready Clyde Board stand ready to help move to this new trajectory alongside a wide range of organizations, businesses and communities, who together are already progressing interventions in this strategy to varying degrees. How we move from this initial action to a full delivery will be set out in the subsequent Action Plan. The details of how this will be developed are outlined in Section 8.
