Denbighshire County Council is set to share its findings on safeguarding residents from climate change.

The council will join forces with partner agencies at a Public Health Wales event on November 14 during Wales Climate Week.

This session, titled 'Protecting people from the health impacts of climate change - understanding & adapting to health impacts', will see the council present results from its Climate Resilience in Social Care Project.

The project, funded by the Welsh Health and Social Care Climate Emergency National Programme, centred on recommending adaptation measures to bolster the council's social care services against future climate impacts.

It explored the link between social care user vulnerability and climate risk, informing the council’s service planning and commissioning.

This work also aided the council in identifying processes and strategies to handle the increased frequency, severity, and impact of severe weather on social services provided to 2,000 social care users.

Councillor Barry Mellor, lead member for environment and transport, said: "We all see too often now the impact of climate change on our lives and the increasing frequency of change we are facing such as more storms that are hitting our county.

"This work has been important to help us look at how climate change can impact social care in Denbighshire and how we can all adapt to provide better outcomes for the people we look after."
