Quick poll on the Climate Adaptation Strategy
What is the Climate Adaptation Strategy?
As part of our Climate and Nature Emergency Plan, which we published in 2021, we set an action to create a Climate Adaptation Strategy.
Now, we'd like to hear what you think about our draft strategy.
The chart on the right shows how this strategy fits into our overall policy and legislation ecosystem.
It sets a vision for 'A well-prepared, climate resilient collaborative Stirling'.
In practice, that means that we will have:
- Understanding and awareness of the impact, risks, opportunities, and actions to adapt to climate change.
- Resilient buildings and infrastructure.
- A protected natural environment.
- Supported communities.
Tell us whether you think the vision and objectives we've set are useful using the poll as the bottom of this page. If you want to provide a more detailed response on the draft strategy, please click on this link to comment on the full PDF.
If you have any difficulty responding via this page, or if you have any further questions about the strategy, please email insights@stirling.gov.uk.
What does climate change mean for us?
The central vision of the Climate Adaptation Strategy is to transform Stirling into one of the best-prepared, most climate-resilient areas in Scotland. To do this, we all need to understand how climate change will affect our area, our businesses, and our communities. This knowledge will help us to work with others to reduce the risks we face, make the most of any new opportunities, and start working to deliver this vision.

Phases
Quick poll on our proposed Climate Adaptation Strategy
One of the actions we set out in our Climate and Nature Emergency Plan, which was approved in 2021, was to develop a Climate Adaptation Strategy.
This strategy will help make sure that our area is well-informed and well-prepared for the effects of climate change. Although we can limit how big these effects will be by reducing the amount of heat-trapping gases we put into the atmosphere, some changes are already under way. We need to adapt to these as individuals and as a community. This strategy sets out how we want to achieve this.

This quick poll will help us make sure we've got the right vision and objectives for the strategy. If you'd like to make more in-depth comments on the strategy, please go to this page, where you can read and comment on the full PDF version of the strategy.
