N2 - Using Scotland as a case study, this chapter considers the potential for Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) approaches to balance existing and new marine activities, and the sustainability of the marine environment under climate change. It considers how the process of implementing marine spatial planning has been developed alongside climate change laws, policies and targets in Scotland, then examines implementation of this climate change regime through MSP. The chapter concludes that the integration of climate change and MSP must be truly holistic to be effective. The legal and policy architecture in Scotland attempts to provide this, but it is too early to measure success.
