Wildlife Trust’s Climate Adaptation Toolkit

Somerset Wildlife Trust have launched a brand-new Climate Adaptation Toolkit to help communities prepare for our changing climate.

Adapting the Levels is a partnership project between the Trust, Somerset County Council, and the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group SouthWest.

“Climate change is already affecting everyone in Somerset, with flooding and severe heatwaves impacting communities across the county,” says the Trust. “Unfortunately, extreme weather such as this is only likely to increase as the climate crisis continues. This makes climate adaptation essential. To help, Adapting the Levels have created a guide to help communities take action into their own hands.”

The new toolkit includes:

• Information about the need for climate adaptation.
• Actions individuals and communities can take to adapt.
• Advice on funding, consents, and permits.
• Resources to help create a locally tailored climate adaptation plan.
