Coastal Communities.

Narrative

I developed a case PhD studentship with Climate XChange Scotland to explore adaptation of island and coastal communities in Scotland to the impacts of climate change. Case study communities in Shetland, Orkney and the Hebridies hosted a series of workshops to understand climate impacts and the adaptation process. Through the development of workshop feedback, reports and engagement with communities it is hope that they will be empowered and informed to engage with climate issues.
