A look at a practical example of the effects of climate change and extreme weather on paths
SCAN, in conjunction with SNH, has organised an event looking at the effects of climate change and extreme weather on paths, to be held on Tuesday 28th February 2012 on the Dysart to Buckhaven section of the Fife Coastal Path.
The objectives are:
- to gain an understanding of the path managment challenges being faced
- to undertake a ‘climate change risk assessment’ of this section of path (a particpatory exercise!)
- to bring together practitioners to share experiences of these situations
- to promote the use of ‘climate change risk assessment’ in long term path management

The meeting point and time will are still to be confirmed; the event will cost £20 per person.

At the recent SCAN Access Summit one concern was voiced loud and clear – the most pressing worry at the moment is finding the money and resources to implement and sustain outdoor access work, whether core paths, rights of way or just general access rights. As local authorities tighten their belts and more people are seeking limited funds and grants, how can outdoor access hold its own? The conference demonstrated how outdoor access can be embedded at the heart of local government policy, reflecting its relevance to strategic agendas such as health, climate change and regeneration.
