Climate Change

A Norfolk Hawker Dragonfly

The Broads Authority has recognised a Climate Emergency - we are seeking to both reduce the Greenhouse Gas Emissions of the Broads as quickly as possible, whilst adapting to the changes that climate change will bring.

The Broads is especially vulnerable to climate change, due to its low-lying nature and much land below the high tide level. Without adaptation, the people, businesses and treasured nature of the Broads will be lost.

However, that adaptation also requires us to reduce the harm of climate change as much as possible. The Broads Authority and its partners are pursuing a range of projects to make sure we do our part alongside the wider UK & International decarbonisation efforts.
