We are inviting you to this information sharing workshop because you can help Cwm Taf Morgannwg Public Services Board develop a Climate Change Risk Assessment for the area, to be undertaken between March and October 2024.  

Our Climate Change Risk Assessment will consider the wide ranging impacts of more extreme weather episodes happening more often in the area. The assessment will explore the consequences of climate change on the health, well-being and safety of our communities, our environment, the sustainability of our businesses and services and the availability of food, water and other resources that we depend upon.

To get the best results and ensure that our future planning is effective, we need to capture the interests and insights of people and organisations from Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil areas.  That’s why we are getting in touch with you.

We have engaged Dr. Alan Netherwood, (Netherwood Sustainable Futures) and Dafydd Thomas (Wellbeing Planner) to carry out the work over the next six months. They hope to work with you and your contacts through a series of online and face to face workshops from April through to July 2024.

This first workshop for the assessment Workshop 1 – Information Sharing is being held online 29^th April 2-5pm to help partners:

• understand the breadth of risks that need to be considered as the climate changes.

• explore what is already being done to get us ready for climate change, related to infrastructure; natural environment; community; and the local economy.

• identify data already available to help us understand the breadth and severity of risks and also gaps in our knowledge.

• begin to uncover the critical risks in specific locations across Cwm Taf Morgannwg.

Please share the information about this workshop with colleagues and through your networks so we get a wide range of interests represented right from the start.  They can register for this workshop by emailing PSB@bridgend.gov.uk

If you have any queries, please get in touch with the PSB support team PSB@bridgend.gov.uk.
