Welcome to the Climate Ready Places web resource.

Over the last 50 years Scotland has seen a significant change in climate - to warmer and wetter weather with more extreme weather events. This trend is set to continue. The aim of this website is to get people thinking about Scotland becoming climate ready. What would we do? What would it look like? The ideas are generated from people working on adaptation across Scotland and in many different sectors. We asked them to imagine 'Scottish' places adapting to climate change and what they would look like. We created six typical Scottish places - Uplands, Lowlands, Coast, Infrastructure, Suburbs and City, and show possible adaptation.

Please remember that this is a collection of ideas - it is not prescriptive, it is not a plan. There will be many more ways to get your place climate ready. Hopefully you will have ideas of your own!

Place Standard Tool

The Place Standard tool is a simple way for anyone to assess the quality of a place.

The tool provides a framework to structure conversations about place. It allows people to think about the physical elements of a place (for example its buildings, spaces, and transport links) as well as the social aspects (for example whether people feel they have a say in decision making).

The tool provides prompts for discussions, allowing groups or individuals to consider all the elements of a place in a methodical way.

Find out more about the Place Standard tool

Town Toolkit

The Town Toolkit has been developed by Scotland's Towns Partnership, as a source of information and inspiration for anyone who wants to make their town centre better. Whether from a local authority, community group, business, social enterprise or other organisation - the toolkit contains a range of ideas that can be put into action to improve and enhance Scotland's towns.

The Toolkit aims to put Scotland's policy approach to town centres into practice. It shows how working collaboratively can deliver the ambitions of the Town Centre First Principle, the Place Principle and the Place Standard tool.

Access the Town Toolkit here

Understanding Scottish Places

Understanding Scottish Places is a tool to help towns practitioners and communities better understand the function of the towns they live and work in. The platform primarily functions as a diagnostic tool, offering the opportunity to compare and contrast data about places across the country

The site organises data about all of the places in Scotland with populations higher than 1000, helping visualise how different towns inter-relate and how they depend on others around them for services and functions.

Access the Understanding Scottish Places data

Place Value Wiki

Place Value Wiki is an online resource, developed by the Place Alliance, containing research and evidence that links the quality and design of place with the value added in health, social, economic and environmental terms.

The evidence held in the wiki is valuable to understand the impacts of place on a range of outcomes and to help make the case for investing in the quality of place.

Access the Place Value Wiki

Young Placechangers Toolkit

The Young Placechangers toolkit aims to inspire young people to take the lead in their local community, to voice their opinions and help make positive change happen.

Full of place activities and resources which are inclusive, fun, and interactive, it gives youth workers, community groups and place professionals ideas on working with young people, including how to evaluate place, how to map your local community and how to influence the local decision-making process.

Access the Young Placechangers Toolkit

Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is a relative measure of deprivation across 6,976 small areas across seven domains: income, employment, education, health, access to services, crime and housing.

SIMD data can help improve understanding about the outcomes and circumstances of people living in the most deprived areas in Scotland.

This activity uses a series of 14 cards to start a conversation around aspects of place and thinking about possible effects of climate change.

These cards are downloadable and printable, single sided and are used along with the wheel to plot the scores for each aspect of place. Scores range from 1-7, 1 being poor and 7 being excellent.

From this conversation, some ideas for community action may arise and could help inform a community action plan or local place plan.

OGM2 is Green Map System's second Open Green Map platform. Designed for community mapping, this platform is ready for all kinds of mapmakers - from students to professionals - who want to draw attention to sustainability in their own city or town.

OGM2 includes the original set of 170 Green Map Icons for charting nature, culture, social justice and sustainable living resources. An open source platform, OGM2 allows for new icon sets, including our 2020 Recovery Icons, the UN SDGs and more. Mapmakers can add customized icon sets for specific localities, and custom base maps, too.

Ready to explore? Start with Browse or explore the world view map from Home. There are several new maps, and some that include pre-2020 data from the original OGM platform. You are invited to create a new account at the Sign In and get your own map rolling!

Now there's a Quick Start Guide for new and returning Green Mapmakers (video and text) and a running list of demos and presentations is below. There is a FAQ and more under the "?". Thanks to the vision and skillfulness of OGM2's open source developers, the GISCollective, OGM2 is versatile and continually improving, adding an App and expanding public engagement features. Much more about our nonprofit's global network and impacts in 65 countries, our shared engagement and mapping resources is at GreenMap.org.

Advantages of OGM2:
* Icon sets can be added (there's even a Local Food draft set to comment on)
* Embed your map on your website
* Responsive webapp can be used on phones, tablets, laptops and desktop
* Manage your Map Team(s) with 4 levels of permissions
* Dashboard helps you manage all your people, maps, icon sets, etc
* Translate is built into the platform

* Each featured site (point), route (line) or area (polygon) on your map can have multiple icons (see test map)
* Each of these features can be viewed on more than one map, too
* Multiple images can enhance each feature's description (even 360 images). Sound files (mp3) can be added too!
* Use any language on the features on your map (more than one language is possible in text; upload another language as a Sound file, if desired)

* Import existing data (CSV, GPX, GeoJson or Json) and export as well makes OGM2 even more useful
* OGM2 uses Open Street Map and offers Stamen Design's Toner and Terrain. Your unique base maps can be added, too.
* Create a Campaign to quickly engage people in your mapping project
* Yes, it's free for non-commercial users!

Contact us with questions about strategy, trainings, activating community, and nonconforming projects, etc. Ask the GISCollective about technical issues.

We would like to invite you to use this toolkit to help explore the relationship between climate change and place. There is information and downloadable resources which will encourage meaningful conversation about how our climate is changing, what this means for our places and what different actions could be taken collectively to address this including different tools that can be used to foster ideas and encourage local action.

The workshop materials are designed for use in small groups of up to 12-15 people and time wise no more than 3 hours.
