Act to Adapt - Minehead

Somerset Wildlife Trust’s Act to Adapt process is supporting communities across Somerset to adapt to climate change through a series of collaborative events. Taking the following steps, communities are creating and implementing climate adaptation plans, proactively responding to climate threats in their local area whilst simultaneously building community, supporting local wildlife, and increasing wellbeing.  Why not get in touch and see how your community can get involved? Contact Natalie Barnett, Climate Adaptation Officer on natalie.barnett@somersetwildlife.org

The climate emergency poses many threats to Minehead. Winters are becoming warmer and wetter, increasing flooding risks. Hotter and drier summers are increasing the risk of droughts, heatwaves and wildfires. Through collaborative events, residents have identified four key themes for how Minehead should adapt to the changing climate.
