How you can help us

Every part of our borough needs to work together to make sure we are as prepared as possible for the changes in our climate.

We're running a consultation on our draft strategy between 29 August and 10 October 2023. We want to know what a resilient Southwark is from your perspective, so this plan works for the whole of the borough.

Please take the time to complete our short survey to help us understand how to make our draft resilience and adaptation strategy and action plan as helpful as possible for all of Southwark.

Give us your views

This survey forms part of the public consultation on our draft Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy.
