Climate change poses significant challenges, including increased heat, flooding, and droughts, impacting both Scotland and the global environment. Leveraging the University’s renowned expertise in environmental science and supported by the Stirling and Clackmannanshire City Region Deal, Scotland’s International Environment Centre is spearheading a collaborative effort to monitor local environmental data.
To communicate the significance of nature and scientific environmental research, Scotland’s International Environment Centre’s flagship programme, Forth-ERA, stands as a global exemplar of environmental monitoring, harnessing cutting-edge sensors and digital technologies. This initiative actively supports SMEs, public and private sectors, and seeks to create opportunities for knowledge transfer and scalability across the region to drive sustainable economic growth.
