About the project

Climate Ready Clyde is Glasgow City Region’s climate adaptation partnership. It brings together 12 member organisations to create and deliver a shared vision, strategy and action plan for the City Region to flourish in a future climate.

 

Verture provides the Climate Ready Clyde secretariat, co-ordinating the partnership and catalysing action since 2012. The partnership grew out of a recognition that climate adaptation is a strategic priority across the region – to address inequality, protect the economy, create good places to live – and that adapting is cheaper, easier, and more effective when done together.

 

Climate Ready Clyde has been recognised as a pioneer within Scotland, the UK, and internationally, in developing a strategic, collaborative, place-based approach to climate adaptation.

 

In 2017, the initiative completed Scotland’s first regional climate risk and opportunity assessment. This informed the 2021 Glasgow City Region Climate Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan, which sets out an ambitious shared vision that takes a whole-systems approach to climate adaptation, emphasising fairness and ‘just resilience’.

 

In 2023, our Interim Assessment of Progress found that Climate Ready Clyde has been a catalyst in driving collaboration and ambition on adaptation in the region, setting a standard for adaptation planning across Scotland, and influencing progress across member organisations. Building on this success to date, we are now focusing on scaling up delivery across the region.

 

Climate Ready Clyde’s current members are: East Dunbartonshire Council, East Renfrewshire Council, Glasgow City Council, Inverclyde Council, North Lanarkshire Council, South Lanarkshire Council, Renfrewshire Council, West Dunbartonshire Council, SEPA, SPT, University of Glasgow and University of Strathclyde.
