Rights : Community : Action is a coalition of campaigners, lawyers, planners, facilitators, writers and scientists, united by a shared commitment to tackle the Climate Emergency – we work with people and for people.

Current political action to tackle the Climate Emergency lacks clarity and vision. Progress is appallingly slow. We already know the solutions, but they urgently need to be implemented. Our aim is to show the way; to make the necessary changes both inarguable and ultimately achievable.

Hull faces a bleak future if rising sea level predictions are to go by. The Environment Agency most extreme modelling results estimates that sea levels could rise by 1.55 metres over the next 100 years, that's an extreme modelling but perhaps possible. What that means for cities like Hull, which sits predominantly below sea level, is that we face a very wet, flooded future. In response to this, Rights: Community: Action launched the Shorelines project.

Shorelines - The Perfect Storm has been working with communities across Hull throughout the last 3 years to empower them to take meaningful action in the fight against climate change.

In 2023, working with artists Lauren Saunders, Lydia Caprani, Emma Garness, Saffi Brown, Hannah Van Green and Joe Hakim we have created 2 murals, 1 enchanted garden, an exhibition and a manifesto which we will be sharing at the Freedom Festival. This work joins our existing 7 murals by Gustavo Chavez Peron, Andy Pea and Calvin Innes.

We invite the people of Hull to come and join the conversation about climate change and its impact on our city. Through a range of activities including creative workshops, talks and interviews you can learn about how rising sea level will affect you and how you can take action now!
