In recognition of this emerging threat and to build on the burgeoning interest in the issue of climate resilience and adaptation, a Water Resilience Summit was held in Totnes on 12th September 2019. The free and open to all event was designed as a day of action-orientated discussions, learning, knowledge exchange and collaborative planning. It brought people from all walks of life together with a broad collection of ‘resilience champions’ to explore how local water environments provide vital benefits to us all every day and to discuss what the benefits of being resilient (or the consequences of being non-resilient) might mean for people, communities, businesses and nature over the next 20 years. Following the event we developed a presentation to disseminate the event and answer some of the key questions that arose from the attendees.
