Act to Adapt - Minehead
Minehead's Climate adaptation events have seen people coming together to discuss flood preparation and priority actions to feed into their climate adaptation plan.
Climate Adaptation
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.
