Climate Education and Positive Action

Climate Education and Positive Action

Climate Change is having a fundamental effect on biodiversity, agriculture, water resources and communities in the South Downs National Park.

But together, we believe we can make a difference!

To find out more about the Climate Action work taking place around the National Park, take a look at our Climate Action Hub.

You could also explore more about our commitment as part of the wider UK National Park Family joining the UN backed ‘race to zero’.

Using our resources, you can explore what National Parks can achieve through nature-based solutions as well as consider the role we can all play as active citizens to embrace Climate Action and make a difference in the coming years.
