Lewes District Council

Lewes District Council has a large programme of work focusing on climate change and communicating the message to residents. Lewes is on the River Ouse and has experienced severe flooding in the past – the impact of climate change is very real.

The Local Sustainability Team have developed a set of communication tools to inform people about climate change and the action that they need to take. They are piloting the tool in an area of the district in which they have not previously focused.

Lewes have used the tool to establish a baseline of residents’ current sustainable behaviours, they will follow this by implementing the climate change communication initiatives and will follow this up using the tool to re-evaluate behaviours and identify any change.
