South West Climate Action Programme

The Challenge

Every day we hear a new story about the impact of climate change globally. From extreme weather events to wildlife extinction, and changing weather patterns and sea rises, that will not only impact on way of life and work but, for many, will threaten their livelihoods, homes and lives. Climate change and its knock-on effects will affect us all to a greater or lesser extent.

We know our activities and consumption fuels climate change and degrades the environment - from generating and consuming energy, and from transport, food production, deforestation, pollution and waste.

We know:

Climate change is happening

It won't solve itself

It is one of the biggest challenges the globe has faced

That it is caused by our actions and not helped by our inaction.

The challenge for all of us is to find ways of addressing climate change, and living and working sustainably. It’s time to take action, and to live and work smarter.

Between us, we have the knowledge and the tools to reduce our impact on the environment. We can a make a difference if we’re prepared to be open to new thinking about living and working differently.

It’s time to be bold, to be a pioneer, be at the forefront of innovation and change.

What possibilities are there in our technology and services; by adapting how we produce and manufacture. What possibilities are in how we of working together – finding solutions through collaboration and co-creation.
