Resillience Resources from Bristol

Lizzi Testani, CEO of Bristol Climate and Nature Partnership, recently shared these useful articles on local resillience:

🫶 EXPERT PERSPECTIVE: The impact of heatwaves and efforts to support Bristol to adapt to, and prepare for, longer periods of extreme heat - published last summer by Susannah Lynn of Bristol Advisory Committee on Climate Change https://lnkd.in/eVT3w6p6

🫶 COMMUNITY AS FIRST RESPONDERS: As with other crises - our community organisations are often first responders, acting quickly to provide shelter from the heat - as in the case of the incredible Hillfields Community Garden last week - as well as building long term cohesion and resilience within their communities, which you can find out about in this report about the Community Climate & Nature Action project: https://lnkd.in/emt6wWqw These should be a huge priority for investment to increase resilience.

🫶 GUIDANCE FOR BUSINESSES: 'How Bristol Businesses can prepare for heatwaves' - guidance from University of the West of England and Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership - https://lnkd.in/e4Ay5Npn

🫶 HOT WEATHER ADVICE FROM BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL: https://lnkd.in/ezBiyEJP

🫶 A REGIONAL RESILIENCE EVENT: In October Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership's first regionally focused event - 'Weathering it Together: Climate Resilience in the West of England' - will bring organisations together, including businesses and communities, to explore what our region’s climate will look like in the near and longer term, and what we can do about it together.
