Over the past decade, the National Centre for Resilience (NCR) has invested in research, partnerships and knowledge exchange that are helping Scotland prepare for the growing challenges of climate change and natural hazards. From research on protecting critical infrastructure and restoring peatlands to supporting communities and developing innovative education resources, this report highlights how projects have been translated into real-world impact.
How can communities become better prepared for natural hazards before an emergency happens?

This case study explores how the methodology was adapted for coastal resilience scenarios, demonstrating how structured role-play and facilitated discussion can support more inclusive, informed and effective climate adaptation planning.
Preparing Scotland for future emergencies starts in our schools. This new report explores how emergency resilience can be embedded across Scottish education, bringing together insights from policymakers, educators, researchers and resilience practitioners who attended our recent policy roundtable.
