Our advice
Providing a wide range of advice and support programmes is more effective in supporting the wider community.
It's easy for people to feel that climate change is too big an issue for them to tackle, and that they need specialist expertise. However, there are lots of simple things that can be done, and it's inspiring to find out how much Town and Parish Councils are already doing.
Building support networks and empowering individuals to work together to take action across many areas is critical to addressing the climate emergency in northern Devon.
