Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI) Assessment for the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh

This report describes outcomes from an online workshop (May-June 2021) to apply the Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI).

The CVI is a methodology developed to rapidly assess climate impacts – both to Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) and the associated ‘community’ (local, domestic and international) - for all types of World Heritage properties (natural, cultural or mixed). This report is the second in a series of CVI assessments covering World Heritage Properties in Scotland.
