Climate Ready Tayside is excited to publish our Vision and Priorities document, which will guide our work over the next five years. The document describes the climate resilient future we want to see in Tayside and how we are going to get there, via our eight priority areas for action.
Our Vision and Priorities have been co-developed with over 60 people from 34 local organisations and community groups in Tayside. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time at one of the workshops or feedback sessions, our vision is strong and vibrant thanks to your ideas.
Our Vision is for a Tayside where:
- Food, energy, transport, housing, infrastructure and economy are resilient
- Nature and biodiversity are thriving, connected and managed at a landscape scale
- Climate adaptation is sufficiently funded, to deliver impactful action
- People, organisations and businesses understand climate risks and how to respond to them
- Groups are working together to build healthy, resilient communities and places
- Community voices shape local resilience actions and create co-benefits
- Adaptation is business as usual, mainstreamed into all policies, services, strategies and operation
Our Priorities for actions are:
- Share clear communication to raise awareness of Tayside specific climate impacts and solutions
- Support the development of regional projects and innovative pilot projects for Tayside
- Promote nature-based solutions and landscape scale action
- Ensure adaptation action is fair and inclusive
- Make climate resilience business as usual in Tayside
- Share knowledge, data and resources across the region
- Attract regional funding and maximise existing resources
- Create sustainable and resilient food growing systems that feed local people
