Current policy challenges
Land use
How can our land use help reduce carbon emissions and lessen the impacts of climate change, whilst delivering the food, biodiversity, social amenity and economic benefits of our land?
Transforming society
How can the transition to a low-carbon society be positive for society, economy and the environment?
Low carbon energy
How can we increase the productivity of our energy use and generate energy without greenhouse gas emissions?
What works?
What works in delivering Scotland’s climate change ambitions?
Low carbon transport
How do we reliably transport people and goods without emissions?
Resilient places
How can our communities, towns and cities be healthy, connected and safe places to be whatever the weather?

Property flood resilience - Scottish baseline study
This study provides a baseline best estimate of the potential for property flood resilience (PFR) and current uptake. Potentially around 81,000 properties may benefit from some kind of PFR measure.
Establishing a manure/slurry exchange in Scotland
A feasibility study into whether manure/slurry exchanges could be an effective tool in helping cut greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.
Efficacy of nitrogen and urease inhibitors in Scotland - an evidence review
This evidence review considers the potential for nitrogen and urease inhibitors to support greenhouse gas emission reductions from fertiliser in Scotland.
Diversifying conifers in productive forests: stakeholders’ perspectives
