County, district, and borough councils across West Sussex are inviting residents to take part in a new Climate Change consultation launching at 11am on Wednesday 5 August.
We are already experiencing the effects of a changing climate. Longer and more frequent heatwaves, increased flood risk, pressure on water resources and impacts on nature are affecting people, businesses and the places we value.
This important consultation will gather views on draft plans that aim to make West Sussex a greener, more resilient county where people and nature thrive together. By taking this joined-up approach we can help deliver better homes, cleaner air, lower energy costs, and thriving natural habitats.
Cllr Natasha Davie, Chair of the Joint Climate Change Board, said:
“Climate action cannot be delivered by councils alone. Success will depend on strong partnerships and the involvement of communities, businesses, voluntary organisations and residents across the county. So, I would encourage everyone to take part and have their say on this very important issue.”
If you live or work in West Sussex please take the time to take part in this consultation.
The consultation is open until 27 September.
