In this episode of The SAGES Climate Science Podcast, we explore the story of climate change from its ancient origins to its modern-day impacts, with a special focus on Scotland. Our guests, Dr. Rebecca Wade from Abertay University and Dr. Kate Donovan from the University of Edinburgh, help us unpack how our climate has evolved and what it means for the future.Dr. Wade and Dr. Donovan build bring us into the present, discussing the global and local pictures of climate change. How is climate change impacting communities worldwide, and what specific challenges are emerging here in Scotland? From rising sea levels to changes in weather patterns, we explore which areas are most at risk and already feeling the effects of a changing climate. Dr. Wade also shares her inspiring experience as part of an all-woman expedition to Antarctica, where she joined the global leadership program Homeward Bound focused on addressing climate change in one of the most vulnerable regions on Earth.Looking forward, we discuss adaptation - how can we prepare for the future? What role does Scotland, along with government, business, research, and individuals, play in tackling the climate crisis? Dr. Donovan also shares insights on what lies beyond net zero - what’s next for a sustainable future?Tune in as we unpack the science, the challenges, and the opportunities for action in the face of Scotland’s evolving climate.
