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.

20 minute neighbourhoods in a Scottish context

This study considers the ambition for 20 minute neighbourhoods in Scotland, taking account of the differing settlement patterns across the country, and analyses international evidence of the success of interventions to achieve these ambitions.

Land use Transforming society What works? Low carbon transport

International practice on assessing investment needs and securing investment to adapt

Learning from international attempts at assessing and securing the optimum level of investment in order to keep pace with climate change. The research has a particular emphasis on flood risk management, coastal change and coastal erosion.

Resilient places

Communicating on climate change after COVID-19

A study of the potential impact of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic on how the Scottish public understand and respond to climate change messaging and narratives. The report considers how this learning can be applied to successfully facilitate support for a green recovery.

What works?

A review of heat decarbonisation policies in Europe

This report reviews the heating technologies and heat decarbonisation policies of nine European countries: the UK (with a focus on Scotland), the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, France, Germany and Ireland).

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.
