We're really excited that the Community Climate Adaptation Routemap is now available in Gaelic! Huge thanks to Argyll & Bute Climate Action Network who collaborated with us on producing it and the @NationalMod committee who translated it. adaptation.scot/our-work/com…
The cover page of the Community Climate Adaptation Routemap in Gaelic. It has a cream background, with green leaves on it, and a bluebird perched on a branch in the lower right corner. The title reads "Mapa-lùil Coimhearsnachd airson Freagarrachadh na Gnàth-shìde" and underneath are all the logos of those involved in producing the Routemap.
