Water & Coasts Community Event 6
About this Event
Water and Coasts is a Hull and East Riding event series that brings together individuals, community groups and organisations working on flooding, erosion and water management across the region.
This is the sixth event in the series, co-ordinated by the University of Hull, and focuses on sharing knowledge of local water management and coastal projects across community and stakeholder networks.
This session
Delivered in collaboration with Timebank Hull and East Riding, this event is split into two parts:
- Pecha Kucha and Project Updates – hear about the latest activities and initiatives taking place across the Hull and East Riding region
- Workshop – explore water's role in the Local Nature Recovery Plan with facilitators from the Stockholm Environment Institute, University of York
About the workshop
THe workshop will build on the foundations of #WeAreHereHull, Community Climate Stewards is a new five-year project from Rights Community Action, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. Working with communities in Hull, Skegness and Lowestoft, the project will support residents to share local knowledge, build collective voice and play a meaningful role in shaping responses to climate risk and environmental change. Through community organising, storytelling and practical action, Community Climate Stewards aims to strengthen local resilience and ensure communities have a meaningful say in decisions that affect the places they call home. The project focuses on four interconnected areas: community mapping, local planning, participatory budgeting, and community stewardship of land and green spaces.
Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS) are designed to identify measures that can deliver meaningful improvements for nature, communities and climate. National-level LNRS measures have been mapped at a broad scale — the next challenge is translating these into specific places, communities and actions.
Facilitated by We are Here, Timebank Hull and East Riding, Rewilding Youth and the Stockholm Environment Institute, the workshop will use maps of existing green spaces in Hull to explore how this local implementation might work in practice. Participants from groups across the city will contribute to a plan for next steps, including how interactive mapping can help publicise activities and coordinate action across the region.
Venue: Brynmor Jones Library, University of Hull — Room BRYN-TR3
