SUMMARY:Tayside Adaptation Partnership Vision and Priorities Event: Public Bodies
DESCRIPTION:The climate in Tayside is changing\, and the region is experiencing warmer\, wetter weather\, increased storminess\, and higher sea levels\, all of which is set to continue even if we achieved net zero tomorrow. We need to adapt to these changes to allow us to become more resilient and ensure Tayside can continue to flourish. \nAdaptation Scotland are supporting partners within Tayside to develop a new\, Regional Adaptation Partnership to address climate risks. \nAt this early stage\, we want to involve people and organisations across the region in defining a shared vision and priorities for the new partnership. Four sector specific events have been designed to provide opportunities for different groups to have a say in what the partnership could be\, what it could do and how it could work. \nAimed at Public Bodies\, this workshop will explore how a regional partnership can advance adaptation in Tayside\, using these three key questions: \n1. How would you describe current work on adaptation in Tayside? What works well and what are the challenges? \n2. What do you hope to see in Tayside in 2050\, as the result of good adaptation action? \n3.How can the regional partnership help move Tayside from the current situation to the future we want to see in 2050? \nThe event will run from 12:30pm – 3pm with registration and a free lunch available from 12:15pm. Space is limited\, so we ask you to register no more than 2 people per organisation or group.
