“Adaptation is a critical component of the long-term global response to climate change to protect people, livelihoods and ecosystems” (UNFCCC).
It is well proven that Climate change is extremely likely to cause strain on many aspects of our communities in the future, from the infrastructure in our homes, to the delicate balance of nature and our public services. As a community it is imperative that we develop resilience, adaptative solutions and implement actions to our ever changing world.
Being proactive in thinking about how we can plan for and adapt to this allows us all an opportunity to work towards a fairer, healthier, more resilient society.

The Climate and Nature Symposium for South Hams Councillors held in Totnes on 16th October, saw group leaders and councillors gather to find ways to collaborate for climate and nature.
Our last Changemakers meeting focused on how we communicate climate and nature change through community events.
