Climate Connections is an exciting partnership project with BPEC, Brighton & Hove City Council and Oxfam GB.

We are connecting the stories of people living in Brighton & Hove with people living in other parts of the world, sharing their experiences, challenges and responses to climate change to raise awareness of the impact of climate change world wide, and how it affects and worsens global poverty.

We have responsibilities: The way we use resources and the way we live our lives.  Our actions can have a positive impact here, and everywhere, on this planet.

We connect the stories, from individuals and community groups, who have been forced to respond to extreme weather conditions and consequently have to adapt: changing their lives.

Take, for example, the residents of Wick Hall.  The residents association have formed a committee to identify ways to reduce the amount of energy they all use and have exciting plans for their large roof.  Read more about what they are doing here in Brighton.

BPEC, through the Climate Connections project provide a space for people to find out what to do, and for others publicise what they have already done, in response to climate change.

Visit our interactive website following the stories of these people and providing information on city-wide environmental projects and community initiatives, ways to get involved, links, advice and updates to help you take action.
