| AR 1.7 | We are well informed on the impact of high temperatures on road surfacing, using a database of current road surface materials on Trunk Roads, and have established the likely impact for each road surface specification and its ability to withstand higher temperatures and prolonged periods of hot weather. | I1, I12 |
| AR 1.8 | We are aware of the extent and locations on Trunk Roads at risk from coastal erosion and utilise Dynamic Coast data to inform any necessary interventions, such as improved sea walls, managed realignment or effective communication of impacts. | I1, I3 |
| AR 1.9 | Current adaptation and resilience asset management processes are further embedded and improved. We are proactive in seeking opportunities for new processes that support adaptation and resilience of the Trunk Roads. | I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I7, I12 |
| AR 1.10 | We are fully aware of the potential impacts climate change poses to the asset through a review of the latest UK climate change projections (UKCP18) and a scoping assessment of Trunk Roads. | I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I7, I12 |
| AR 1.11 | The relationship between the weather-related impacts of climate change and road safety incidents on Trunk Roads is well understood and supports the strategic outcomes of the Road Safety Framework to 2030. | I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I7, I12 |
| AR 1.12 | We have a proactive Climate Change Adaptation Programme for Trunk Roads which goes beyond maintenance, informed by the Pilot Adaptation Programme. | I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I7, I12 |
| AR 1.13 | Our Biodiversity Strategy for Transport Scotland outlines the important role of landscape design and management in adapting Trunk Roads to the impacts of climate change. | I1, I2, I3, I5, I7, I12 |
| Sub-Outcome Reference | Sub-Outcome Detail | Associated CCRA3 Risks |
|---|---|---|
| AR 2.1 | The next High Level Output Specification for Control Period 7 contains up-to-date requirements relating to climate change, including adaptation and resilience. | I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I7, I12 |
| AR 2.2 | We are engaged and supportive of the development of future specifications and policies relating to climate change adaptation and resilience across the Scottish rail network. | I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I7, I12 |
| Sub-Outcome Reference | Sub-Outcome Detail | Associated CCRA3 Risks |
|---|---|---|
| AR 3.1 | HIAL monitors flooding risks to its infrastructure and takes appropriate action at those airports most at risk from coastal erosion, flooding and sea level rise, to ensure there is no significant disruption to services. | I1, I2, I3, I7 |
| AR 3.2 | HIAL monitors the effects of high temperatures at its airports and the impact these could have on vehicles, runways and infrastructure, and takes appropriate action to ensure there is no significant disruption to services. | I12 |
| AR 3.3 | HIAL as the lead partner in the Sustainable Aviation Test Environment in Orkney, monitors the testing of new types of low emission aircraft, including their performance in severe weather conditions. | I12 |
| Sub-Outcome Reference | Sub-Outcome Detail | Associated CCRA3 Risks |
|---|---|---|
| AR 4.1 | We are proactive in our collaboration with CMAL and ferry operators, through existing working groups, providing a vital understanding of climate science to ensure it is considered when developing appropriate future interventions and policy. | I1, I3, I12 |
| AR 4.2 | There is an increased awareness regarding climate change adaptation and resilience with UKG and Scottish Ports. We influence policy and encourage proactive interventions by building on existing engagement. | I1, I3, I12 |
| AR 4.3 | We proactively collaborate with SC to identify climate change adaptation and resilience interventions and opportunities. | I1, I2. I3, I5, I7 |
