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 held a public consultation on our draft strategy between 29 August and 10 October 2023. Thank you for taking part, and helping us to understand how to make our resilience and adaptation strategy and action plan as helpful as possible for all of Southwark.
We're currently considering all of the feedback we received and using this to inform a final climate change resilience and adaptation strategy.
