Joined-up Action Café
Joined Up Action for Climate & Nature in South Devon aims to co-create a resilient South Devon that is prepared to adapt to the climate and biodiversity crises. This programme, led by the BLC, has been running since early 2024 when South Hams District Council (SHDC) awarded us funding to run a learning journey for climate adaptation and produce a discussion paper.

Climate change will impact every community in South Devon, as it will across the world. By anticipating these impacts and preparing our response now, we can choose how we want to move forward instead of being forced by events into emergency action. BLC is committed to making it possible for citizens and policy-makers to work together. We are hosting talks and discussions called the Joined-up Action Café series to help us all learn together.
In previous gatherings, we delved into the new Land Use Framework and identified barriers around momentum, capacity, funding models, inclusivity & equality, understanding systems thinking and the realities of how humans operate! On 28th May at 1pm join Jane Nichols from Sustainable South Hams, who will be asking the question: "How do we rally for nature?" It's a great opportunity to think about nature in relation with community. This is ahead of the Sustainable South Hams & Rally for Nature ‘Moor Understanding’ day at Dartmoor Dynamic Landscape's Rivers and Moorlands Festival in Ivybridge on the 5th June.
Future sessions of the Café will include a discussion on the Devon Doughnut, and a session looking at localising the Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Climate Adaptation strategy, with some focus on flood resilience.
