DNHN Climate Action and Resilience Plan

The Critical Decade

The science of climate change tells us we are, here an now, in a time when we have to act before it’s too late.

The language around this can be hard to understand and can be scary, but there are things we can all do in our lives to play a part in this.

If you think about your every day life you’ll recognise how climate change is already playing out in real ways…

  • > Hotter days more often
  • > Big, damaging winds
  • > Downpours of intense rain 

And how does it impact us…?
