Welcome to Forum 21

Forum 21 is a voluntary group based in West Somerset dedicated to raising environmental issues and fighting climate change. It takes its name from the ‘Agenda 21’ movement formed to take the message of local sustainability through into the 21st century.

Since its launch in 1998, Forum 21 has been responsible for a number of local initiatives, such as the now well established Minehead farmers market. More recently the group has been involved in a range of activities in conjunction with West Somerset Council and other local organisations. This has included the production of a Community Climate Change strategy for West Somerset.

Regular Forum 21 public meetings about issues of local and national concern are held in the area, usually in Watchet.

Anyone who wants to get involved or to be kept informed of activities can register under ‘How to get involved’. Forum 21 offers you the chance to make a difference for the environment.
