Question 1

What sort of evidence are you gathering?

Accepted Answer

The call for evidence is a request for public, private and third sector organisations across South East Scotland to share their understanding of how extreme weather today affects their activities, assets and interests, and any research on how the changing climate could affect these.

Question 2

What information is useful?

Accepted Answer

•	Climate risk and opportunity assessments,
•	Research on risks,
•	Resilience plans, 
•	Risk registers,
•	Information about development / investment plans, 
•	Data about impacts and disruption
•	GIS data showing spatial distribution of your assets and demographics of the communities you serve,

Question 3

Can I invite my colleagues and contacts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please share this event with your network. All viewpoints are valuable and the more evidence we get, the better and more useful the assessment will be in determining the places, sectors and communities who may need more support to increase their resilience to the impacts of climate change.

Question 4

How might climate change affect social housing providers and those living in social housing?

Accepted Answer

Climate change is a stress multiplier. Unless we plan adaptation action in an inclusive way, climate change impacts could cause increasing damage to homes, rising maintenance and  running costs, impact physical and mental health and household income and wellbeing - so widening inequalities.

Question 5

I'm not a climate change expert, can I still attend?

Accepted Answer

Yes, no knowledge of climate change science is needed to attend. If you are a social housing professional we need your insights into how extreme weather affects the region's social housing today, to extrapolate how these essential assets, and their residents could be impacted as the climate changes.
