is experiencing climate change and needs to take necessary steps to reduce the impacts and build resilience

 

Climate

The Climate Action Group aims to deliver net zero carbon in northern Devon by 2050, in line with the UK’s legally binding target. Aligning with the Devon Carbon Plan and Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Adaptation Strategy we are working together to identify and fund key projects to reduce the causes of, and adapt to, climate change in our Northern Devon.
