Update post event:
- Kathryn’s Bridgend Adapts presentation drew attention to the Public Service Boards’s Climate Change Risk Assessment Report pinch-points, outlining the need for communities to prepare now for localised responses and she recommended the development of a community-based network.
- The LA presentation provided a quite detailed overview of the CC Risk Assessment report, that there are potential risky areas, reinforcing the need to adapt. Common concerns emerged - that there is not enough funding within local authorities to take action.
- A strong agreement that the community sector can play a key role in climate adaptation but support is needed. A feeling that our idea of a Climate Adaption support network would be a way forward and enable a closer link with the LA and the Public Service Board.
Thanks to EGIN for their support for this event.
