Joined up action for climate and nature
Core Team and Working Group Session, 5 November 2025, 3-5pm, Follaton House, Totnes
For people and nature adapting to climate change
Devolution is giving us an opportunity to look beyond existing political boundaries and imagine a more resilient future at the scale of the whole of South Devon.
Over fifty organisations already taking action on climate change, social justice and recovering nature in South Devon have been invited into a round table-type process at Follaton House, home of South Hams District Council (SHDC). The goal is to bring into being a South Devon-wide working group on climate adaptation, mitigation and biodiversity. BLC is providing administration and guidance for this partnership effort. A workshop in June led to a review and synthesis of the leading plans that already exist, mapping out the set-up for a bioregional financing facility and sketching out a democratic process of information sharing and consensus building. Then, in September, this work was presented for feedback and discussion. Now, in November, a core group and working groups will gather to discuss focus areas and next steps.
South Hams District Council, Sustainable South Hams, Devon Climate Emergency and BLC are working together to make this happen. Please get in touch if your community group or organisation would like to express interest in being involved in this work.
