Climate Disadvantage: What are the social impacts of climate change?
This event provided a unique opportunity for 50 local stakeholders to consider how climate impacts like flooding and heatwaves will affect the most vulnerable people in particular communities. The event was held on 16th April 2012 in Loughborough. It was organised by Leicestershire County, Leicester City and Rutland County Councils, and was supported and facilitated by Climate East Midlands.
Katharine Knox, Programme Manager at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, gave an overview of the JRF's work on social justice and climate change.
Prof John O'Neill, Hallsworth Chair in Political Economy at the University of Manchester, explained what is meant by "social vulnerability" to climate change.
Dr Sarah Lindley, Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester, firstly explained the work done to map social vulnerability to climate change as part of a JRF-commissioned study, and then presented detailed case studies focusing on specific locations in Leicestershire and Leicester.
Mike Peverill, Climate Change Coordinator, Climate East Midlands, gave a scene-setting presentation introducing the climate change projections, the headline findings from the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment, and an overview of progress to date to build resilience to climate change in Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.
The presentations are available to download here, apart from Dr Sarah Lindley's case studies presentation, which is available on request. Please contact [email protected]

Planning for Climate Change - Community Events
Following the launch of the online resource, a series of free one-day workshops for community groups, individuals, councillors and planners with an interest in local planning and climate change have been held across the East Midlands.
The events featured a speakers with a wide range of first hand experience of achieving planning permission for community projects, as well as experts in the field of understanding synergies between wider community concerns and low-carbon/renewable energy projects and the statutory process. Also featured was an introduction to PlanLoCaL, a suite of resources including films, a resource pack and a website which aims to support communities and groups that are 'planning for low carbon living'.
An overview was given of the importance of understanding the UK Climate Impacts Programme climate projections and how they might influence planning decisions and speakers from DECC illustrated some of the impacts of climate change and possible solutions that could be implemented to ensure a resilient community.
Using PlanLoCal exercises, an in-depth technology specific workshop examined technologies chosen by attendees beforehand,
Feedback from the event was very positive and slides from the day may be downloaded here:
