Introduction

The climate is the weather we expect to have. Climate change means we will have warmer temperatures, more heavy rain and drier summers. Sea levels are also rising.

This change in normal weather is bad for the environment and harms people. We are all living with climate change, now and in the future.

This can change depending on where you live. An island community will have different climate change to a city community.

The Scottish National Adaptation Plan 3 (SNAP3) is a 5 year plan covering 2024 to 2029. This plan will help Scotland adapt to climate change.

Our plan has 5 outcomes. Outcomes are the goals we have in our plan.
