Adaptation is a way of life
How staying SAFER needs a bold vision. Tune into our breakfast meeting on July 29 to learn more.
Dear Climate Majority,
For those of you who were unable to attend the SAFER launch in person and who want to dive in deeper into the logic of the campaign, we are organising an online session on July 29 from 8:15am for a prompt 8:30 start, finishing at 9:45 am BST. Tune in with a cup of coffee!
In it you will hear from Caroline Lucas and the rest of the SAFER team.
“Adaptation, resilience-building, and collective preparedness have potential to engage and empower people whose living standards will be most impacted by climate damage, whether they face rising bills, cold, damp or uninsurable homes, water damage, or any other immediate risk. Effectively managed, adaptation messaging can offer competition to populist parties such as Reform UK, whose appeal rests heavily on declining living standards.” (Strategic Adaptation for Emergency Resilience, 2025)
Report launched with the SAFER campaign on July 9, 2025.
A depolarising political agenda doesn’t mean a weak one. Taking adaptation, and consequently food production, energy security, appropriate education, nature restoration seriously is a way of life that is very different from current business as usual. By a depolarising political agenda we mean one that engages with bold ideas and concerns from both sides of the political spectrum, not a vanilla mash of the two. Centrism perpetuates business as usual, and the majority of the population is sick of business as usual (more on this in our upcoming Silent Majorities report).
“Improvements to quality of life potentially arising from adaptation measures extend from economic and physical health benefits to transformation in psycho-social wellbeing. Consider, for example, the benefits of retrofit activities such as insulation on energy use, impacting both home comfort and outgoings, or of localisation on air quality, diet, exercise and mobility.” (Strategic Adaptation for Emergency Resilience, 2025)
