THE CLIMATE CHANGE IN COCAGNE AND GRANDE-DIGUE



THE 11TH OF JUNE 2019

We had a meeting at the Cocagne marina to talk about the adaptation of climate change in Cocagne and Grande-Digue.


  

There were 20 participants that attended .The participants re-exanimated priority areas and action for the adaptation of climate change within the Cocagne watershed. Such as leaving the riparian zone untouched, rising bridges and improving warming centers by implementing supply of water and food in case of emergency. It was the second meeting to set up the adaptation plan that will be implemented next year.
