Kent – prepare for change

Published: 13-01-2009

This month, CPRE Kent will launch a new report entitled ‘Tomorrow’s Kent’, which focuses on the impacts of climate change on Kent and its countryside.

Climate change is an issue that affects all of us. Kent has particular vulnerabilities that mean we are likely to be hit earlier and harder than any other areas of the UK.

CPRE Kent has produced the ‘Tomorrow’s Kent’ report to inspire and encourage people to take action now and join our campaign to Protect Kent from the likely impacts of climate change.

Government and individuals at all levels, need to be aware of the risks Kent is facing and plan for adapting to these changes. CPRE Kent believes now is the time for Parish Councils, Parliament and other Public Officers to be thinking ahead to what public services and planning policies need to be put in place today to meet the needs of tomorrow’s Kent.
The wider public needs to be aware of the problems and opportunities that may lie ahead. The main impacts on Kent will be: sea level rise, more water stress, greater flood risk and storm damage and summer overheating.

We need to challenge Government, business and ourselves to reduce these impacts of climate change on our county. The ‘Tomorrow’s Kent’ report provides an introduction to the ways everyone can do more to prepare for the future.  
Climate change will have an impact on your life no where in Kent you live. Different areas of the county will be affected differently by climate change.

If you would like a hardcopy, or would like to find out how to join our campaign, contact us on 01303 815180.
