This work is carried out by the Scott Polar Research Institute and the British Antarctic Survey – both based in Cambridge.Pound added: "We declared a climate change emergency in 2019, and lot of work has gone into making Cambridge more climate resilient."This is a wonderful way to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community."The Freedom of the City parade at Parker's Piece included people from HMS Protector, armed forces veterans and cadets.
