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?

Latest research

ClimateXChange carries out a wide range of research focussed on adapting to climate change and reducing emissions.
Below are some of the currently active projects, you can view more on the Projects page. Visit the Publications Library for access to all of our research publications.

Electric vehicle enabled buildings: evidence review of installation costs

Establishing the difference in cost between installing electric vehicle (EV) charge points during initial construction or major renovation of a building as opposed to retrofitting at a later date.

Low carbon transport

Scottish saltmarsh, sea-level rise, and the potential for managed realignment to deliver blue carbon gains

An assessment of the potential for managed realignment of Scotland’s coastline to create suitable areas for saltmarsh habitats within the intertidal environment specifically for blue carbon benefits.

Land use

Tidal Flooding on the Clyde Options Analysis and Scoping of Adaptation Pathways

Research to help frame actions and decisions at a local, regional and national level around future flood resilience and long-term adaptation on the Clyde. It supports adaptation pathways as a decision-making tool to adapt to climate change and the inherent uncertainties of future risk.

Resilient places

Taking a managed adaptive approach to flood risk management planning – evidence for guidance

Research to inform guidance by investigating how local authorities are currently developing adaptive flood risk management plans. The report looks at case studies across Scotland.

A knowledge exchange model for research, policy and practice

Aligning science and policy is a well-known challenge. Scientists and policy-makers often have different goals, priorities and measures of success. CXC’s aim is to bring the two together to create policies and governance informed by the best available evidence.
