A new study will investigate how climate change could create disruption across Scotland’s critical infrastructure, helping organisations better understand risks to the services people depend on every day.

It’ll examine how problems affecting one infrastructure network can trigger much wider impacts elsewhere.

Believed to be one of the first studies of its kind in the world jointly commissioned by multiple infrastructure owners and operators, it will assess how climate-related disruption could spread across industries including transport, energy, water supply and communications.

It aims to help identify vulnerabilities that might otherwise be missed when risks to sectors are considered separately.
