The Climate Change Committee’s new report is a clear reminder that climate resilience starts at home and in our communities: A Well-Adapted UK - Climate Change Committee

Simple actions all make a difference:

🏠 improving ventilation and shading

☀️ checking on vulnerable neighbours during hot weather

🛡️ installing basic flood protection

💧 cutting household water use

🌿 supporting local green spaces

The report also shows that communities have a vital role in creating cool spaces, flood readiness plans, and nature-rich neighbourhoods that can better handle climate impacts. A safer, more resilient UK is something we build together - one home, one street, and one community at a time.

Join us at the EcoHub on Wednesday 27th May from 6pm to talk about the risks to our local community and prioritise mitigation actions.
