Education and engagement are vital in tackling climate change. By providing knowledge and awareness about the environment, we empower individuals to make informed decisions and take meaningful action. Engaging people in the climate challenge fosters a sense of responsibility and collective effort, driving positive change for a sustainable future.
The Climate and Nature Symposium for South Hams Councillors held in Totnes on 16th October, saw group leaders and councillors gather to find ways to collaborate for climate and nature.
Our last Changemakers meeting focused on how we communicate climate and nature change through community events.
Sustainable South Hams has had conversations with more than 30 town and parish councillors to help design an upcoming Climate and Nature Symposium for local representatives.
We aim to increase awareness of environmental issues amongst residents, Councils, businesses & other organizations from the Dartmouth Cluster of communities. We have launched a website forum, responded to the Dartmouth Neighbourhood Development Consultation, linked up with existing local sustainability groups and are developing publicity material for distribution to organizations, businesses & individuals. We meet fortnightly on Zoom, and new members are very welcome - email Sune to join.
