“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.

Happy New Year from the Sustainable South Hams team! To celebrate, we've put together a collection of some of our activities over the last year.
Mel Harvey and Ruth Leonard-Williams from the SusSH compost team recently took a research trip to visit the inspirational Loop Frome project which is revolutionising resource use and composting - with the aim of sparking similar projects here in South Hams.
