Three important issues of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Rural Sustainability have been identified as Cross-Cutting Themes (CCTs) as part of The Scottish Government's research strategy.

These key issues will be addressed by research in each of the four main research programmes at SCRI and the following publications outline the approach being taken.

• PDF file: Biodiversity Research at SCRI (4.21 MB)
• PDF file: Climate Change Research at SCRI (3.64 MB)
• PDF file: Sustainability Research at SCRI (4.91 MB)

SCRI has identified Cross-Cutting Theme Champions to help develop our strategy on these globally important issues.
