Entering a climate of change

People love to talk about the weather, it fascinates, it irritates and it is, taking out the seeding of clouds to force rain, beyond our control. Now as our knowledge grows we are talking about the climate, a changing climate that will affect the lifestyles to which we have grown accustomed.

At Suffolk Coastal we recognise the importance of what people across the globe are saying about climate change. The links below outline the action that we are taking and give details of some of the initiatives we are currently engaged in:
