It is essential to consider location when positioning green energy infrastructure, including wind and solar installations, to mitigate future risks, for example taking account of coastal erosion. To help demonstrate the significance of geospatial data. Ordnance Survey (OS) recently published a set of seven sustainability innovation trends outlining ways the wider geospatial industry is working to combat climate change. The Scottish Government is committed to making Scotland a net zero society by 2045, reducing emissions by 70 per cent by 2030 (compared with 1990 figures). By 2050 an estimated ￡1.2 billion of Scotland's buildings, transport infrastructure, cultural, and natural heritage may be at risk of coastal erosion, a process that is already under way. The Dynamic Coast project used OS data alongside additional surveys to develop new maps that serve as a coastal change planning tool to build resi- lience and adapt to the pressures of climate change and sea level rise.
