Climate Emergency Declaration & Green Hosting

Map of Essex 1777 declares a Climate and Ecological Emergency. The scientific evidence is clear: we are on course for a catastrophic rise in global temperatures if we don't reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero. The 2018 Special Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) gives us until 2030 to avert the worst effects of this man-made environmental disaster.

Map of Essex 1777 is a Heritage Declares signatory as an expression of its commitment to take action about climate change. The roots of heritage conservation, with its call for inter-generational solidarity and responsible stewardship of the inherited world, are deeply interwoven with those of the environmental movement. Map of Essex 1777 is a digital heritage project hosted on a verified green hosting service (GreenGeeks LLC) which purchases 300% more renewable energy than it consumes – making Map of Essex 1777 a climate positive digital resource.
