Climate change in Scotland is already causing a range of impacts on Scotland. 2022 was Scotland’s warmest year on record with the temperature reaching 35°C in the Scottish Borders in July.[1]
Climate change has already changed timings of spring events such as leaf unfolding, bird migration and egg-laying. Severe effects are likely to occur on biodiversity.
The mitigation of climate change and adaptation is a matter for the devolved Scottish Parliament.
