Woodend-Sefton Community Board
Climate change and resilience
Climate change poses a huge challenge for communities as more frequent extreme weather events require us to rethink how we live and where. Local authorities are at the forefront of efforts to respond, with responsibilities for environmental planning and regulation, as well as civil defence. Many councils have plans to reduce emissions in their area and are working to help their communities adapt to a warming world.

Commit to supporting the community to mitigate the effects of climate change where this is possible.
Continue the work of civil defence by increasing disaster awareness and facilitating community emergency hubs as locals know their community.
Work to give people a realistic choice in how they travel to reduce vehicle use as even one less trip a week makes a difference.
