We’re delighted to share that a new climate adaptation project has launched in Somerset! 🌱

Over the next 12 months, Somerset Wildlife Trust will be working with the University of Bristol and the Somerset Council on Act Together to Adapt. A project focused on bringing community knowledge into local decision-making.

Communities across Somerset are already thinking about how climate change will affect where they live, and this project will help connect those ideas and plans with the people and systems that can help make them happen.

The project is funded by the MACC Hub, a UK-wide research initiative supported by Defra and UKRI.

Follow along as we share updates over the coming months: www.somersetwildlife.org/act-together-adapt

✍️ If this is something you care about, you could write to your local councillor or MP to share why supporting community-led climate adaptation matters.

"Today, despite worsening evidence and increasingly visible impacts, urgent calls for action are met with indifference or silence.
Why?
The simplest explanation is that meaningful climate action has become politically inconvenient."
