Engagement exercise on a new Climate Change Adaptation Framework for Edinburgh

An engagement exercise on a new Climate Change Adaptation Framework for Edinburgh has been launched.

The  draft Climate Change Adaptation Framework for Edinburgh and supporting Evidence Base  will set out the city’s approach to adapting to the impacts of a changing climate over the next five years. We want to ensure that the Framework is an accurate, up-to-date reflection of the impacts and risks of climate change to the city, and of the work already being done, in the process of being done, or planned to adapt the city to a changing climate. This includes updating and adding to the case studies included in the draft Evidence Base.

The Council are looking for your views on the high-level actions proposed and the suggested lower level actions, and how these actions should be taken forward.

Please spare a few minutes to fill in a short survey before 29 August.

Neighbourhood Survey 2008

The results of the Edinburgh Annual Neighbourhood Survey 2008 are now available.


"Each year Services for Communities asks residents for their views on their neighbourhood; what are the best things; what needs to be improved and what they think about the services we provide. This tells us what the public thinks about things like street cleaning, road maintenance, recycling, and parks in every neighbourhood. In autumn 2008, just over 5,000 Edinburgh residents from across the city took part in the survey."
