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.
Have you joined our Joined-up Action Café sessions yet?
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, with the question, "How do we rally for nature?" It's a great opportunity to think about nature in relation with community. For this session only, join the Zoom here:
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 (5th June). Do take a look at the programme and join in if you can!
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. If you would like to share your work, experience or knowledge in a session, drop me an email.
