Our children and young people will be amongst those most affected by climate change, so giving them opportunities to get involved with nature and the environment from an early age is critical.

Sustainable Warwickshire
Climate change is one of the most important issues facing the world. Warwickshire is seeing an increase in flooding, heatwaves, drought and wildfires, all posing a direct risk to Warwickshire’s communities and economy.
At the same time, with thousands of acres of habitats lost to development, and pollution affecting our natural environment,
the decline in biodiversity is impacting directly on our wellbeing and
economic prosperity.
This Warwickshire County Council podcast is for those people living and working in Warwickshire, who care about climate change and ensuring that Warwickshire is sustainable now and for future generations.
It features conversations with people from our public, private and voluntary sectors, all taking action to reduce carbon emissions, support biodiversity and promote economic growth.
