We believe we need a strong Environment Act for the benefit of people as well as wildlife. Find out more about what we would like and how you can help.

Act Together to Adapt focuses on how community-led plans can be better recognised and integrated into local decision-making. This new 12-month project is delivered in partnership with the University of Bristol and in collaboration with Somerset Council and is funded by the MACC Hub Flexible Fund.

There is no escaping the reality that Somerset’s climate is rapidly changing in our lifetimes. We are experiencing its predicted effects that impact our health, our day to day living, the prices we pay for food and wildlife populations around us. The county is vulnerable to rising sea levels and river flooding on low-lying land, while more unpredictable weather patterns will increase surface water flooding and wildfire risk across all areas, including higher ground. These changes affect us, our homes, our gardens and our spaces for wildlife.

Glastonbury's Climate Adaptation Workshop was full of important discussions where we captured essential local knowledge that was key to developing a strong Climate Adaptation Plan.

The Polden's Climate Adaptation Workshop was full of important discussions where we captured essential local knowledge that was key to developing a strong Climate Adaptation Plan

Wells' Climate adaptation training event was full of important discussions where we captured essential local knowledge that will be key to developing a strong climate adaptation plan.

We're keen to share our knowledge across Somerset, empowering communities to adapt to climate change. Are you interested to find out how you and your community can get involved? Here are some ways to talk, shape and act! Sign up to the Act to Adapt project newsletter here.
