Climate change, food production, energy and the built environment are among the issues that will be explored in a project looking at ways to make the Sid Vale more sustainable over the next 10 years.
The Vision Group for Sidmouth is launching a project called Sidmouth 2020, focusing on positive actions that will benefit the local community in the coming years.
It will look at whether people need to reduce travel and imports, and become more resilient and self-sufficient.
Various public events at Kennaway House are planned later in the year, including an evening in June focusing on biodiversity in gardens, parks and the countryside.
There will be an event in August, linked to the food festival at Kennaway House, celebrating local produce.
