One Small Step Toward Big Change
By now we are all versed in the evils of single-use plastic products and their impact on the environment, yet not enough is being done
Eastbourne
Assessment of the specific climate impacts that will predominate in the Eastbourne area.
Facilitating projects that help to relocalise key support networks that Eastbourne depends on for economic sustainability, especially the food supply and distribution network.
Networking with organisations that can help increase local resilience and sustainability.
The ability of any community to withstand external climate change impact is dependent upon its capacity for resilience and adaptation. Such capacity takes years to build and involves not only making all the physical preparations needed ahead of the time of crisis, but also making the social and psychological adjustments necessary to ensure the community’s emotional and social strength. The Climate Adaptation Group analyses how Eastbourne could better withstand the inevitable shocks from the ever-worsening impacts of global warming and biodiversity collapse, designing practical projects for increasing local climate adaptation based on those analyses.
We are contributing to a project within the EEAN on what lessons can be learned from the COVID19 pandemic to ensure better preparedness and more agile responses to future shocks, such as further pandemics and worsening climate impacts.
The EEAN has applied to become an affiliate of the Rapid Transition Alliance. This will help inform our work and also help raise local awareness of what is possible to achieve by 2030.
We are collaborating with the Food Adaptation Working Group and the Eastbourne Food Partnership to help build a resilient community food network that links local food producers/suppliers more closely with the town, reducing dependence on international just-in-time food chains, and ultimately reducing food miles, food waste, and food poverty.
