A public consultation on a Devon, Cornwall & Isles of Scilly climate adaptation plan will be held from 8 May. The plan will attempt to minimise the impact of climate change on the South West peninsula.
A final version of the plan will be adopted this autumn, four and a half years after Devon County Council convened the Devon Climate Emergency Response Group to “act now to tackle [the] climate emergency”.
