Abstract

This note offers key learning and questions arising from a number of research projects and initiatives focusing on community resilience in the context of climate change, in urban and rural contexts in Scotland and internationally (see page 4). In this note we have not sought to define resilience as we understand this term as having many interpretations. Similarly we have not attempted to document the implications of climate change on communities or social justice. Implicit in our learning is that a changing climate, and responses, presents major challenges and opportunities for communities, policy makers and those working across the two. The note highlights key learning which gives rise to critical questions that need to be addressed for that learning to be implemented in practice.
