Scotland needs up to £14bn for climate adaptation
Thursday 16th July, 2026
Research estimates Scotland needs £7.8–£14.2bn by 2040 to adapt infrastructure and land across flood risk, transport, water, agriculture and nature restoration.
This gives Rightmove a chance to speak about climate risks to Scottish homes and the need for clearer resilience information for buyers, renters and landlords in Scotland.
Why have we flagged this?
Scotland's large climate adaptation funding gap — especially for flooding and transport — will affect property resilience, values and buyer/renter priorities, so Rightmove could offer market data on regional demand, listings for flood-risk areas, and guidance for buyers and landlords.
