County, district, and borough councils across West Sussex are inviting residents to take part in a new climate change consultation.
The consultation will gather views on draft plans that aim to make West Sussex a greener, more resilient county where people and nature thrive together. The councils have worked together through a group called the West Sussex Joint Climate Change Board with support from climate specialists City Science. Together they have prepared draft action plans which focus on:
- Climate change mitigation – reducing the amount of carbon produced and released into the atmosphere, e.g. from transport, homes, and businesses
- Climate change adaptation – preparing for the impacts of an increasingly changing climate – such as longer and more frequent heatwaves and more severe flooding
People who live or work in West Sussex are encouraged to take part in the consultation by visiting this link: Climate change consultation | Your Voice West Sussex
The consultation is open until Sunday 27 September 2026.
