Presentations from the "Growing Old in a Changing Climate" Workshop are now available. These include the presentations given by Sir John Lawton, Dominic Harrison and Dr Gary Haq.

Welcome to Climate Talk
Climate change is considered to be one of the greatest challenges we face today. The changing climate will result in wetter winters and warmer summers and will also increase the frequency of extreme weather events such as floods and droughts. It is not only a problem globally but also locally. In order to tackle the problem we need to ensure that everyone understands the issue and what they can do to make a difference.
Climate Talk has been set up to encourage people to learn about and share experiences, ideas and opinions on climate change, especially the over 50s.
