Abstract

Scotland was the first government in the world to declare a climate emergency (Sturgeon, 2019). Policymakers must act in a proactive manner to ensure the risks of climate change are offset and lead the climate revolution across the world. Despite the UN (2021) stating a need to maintain global warming within reach of pre-industrial levels there are certain impacts which must have adequate mitigation methods. Certain impacts may be more heavily felt within either a rural or urban setting and therefore require more nuanced policymaking to target potential issues.
