It is well over a year ago now that Highland Adapts agreed that” Can the North Highland Area reach Net Zero and still meet economic demands?” would be a good study for us to do. Since then input to their system is interesting, but non revenue earning, so not too much time can be spent on it. It is now April 2024, and one book has been published already, as a starting point, and we continue to look at projects such as the excellent one at the Wick Campsite which will do wonders for the town in the long term. At the Campsite itself, the transformation is just incredible, and with solar installations and ground source heatpumps, electric hook ups and charging point, waste management as well as great walking routes around the site, it is a fantastic project for the area, and they are well on the way to being self sustaining.
Edinburgh University has just launched its project specification: “Landscape-scale collaboration to benefit biodiversity and climate
change outcomes – stakeholder engagement” The need for this research
ClimateXChange (CXC) wishes to commission stakeholder engagement and knowledge exchange research on collaborative landscape-scale practices and their potential to deliver positive outcomes
in response to the climate and biodiversity emergencies in Scotland. This fits with our own biodiversity project and the work we did on Just Transition in 2023.
