The Norwich Society, with over a century of dedication to preserving the beauty, history and character of Norwich, invites you to view this pivotal event addressing one of the greatest challenges of our time: climate change.  

As part of our Climate Change strategy, we have collaborated with the City Council, academic institutions and the business community, to understand the impact of climate change on our City, and how we can prepare for and mitigate its effects on our community and built heritage.
