Parks, greenspace and the climate emergency

With more Councils following the Scottish Government’s lead in declaring a climate emergency, the role of park and greenspaces in helping our communities and urban areas in mitigating and adapting to climate change has become a hot topic of conversation.  Greenspace Scotland have been working in thie area for several years, and have a range of climate resilience publications on their website. These include a ‘Climate Change Park’ toolkit and scoping study ‘Developing the role of greenspace in climate change mitigation and adaptation’.
