CEP commissioned by Defra to investigate how local delivery of environmental outcomes can help to achieve the goals of the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan.
The Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan provides a guiding framework for achieving the goal of improving the environment within a generation. Embedding local delivery is essential to the success of the plan. CEP is leading a research project to understand how government can best support local organisations and partnerships to work together to protect and enhance important environmental assets and resources, whilst supporting their own needs and ambitions.
The project has two phases: Phase 1 is gathering evidence about models and approaches for local integration and leadership currently in use and under development, examples of good practice and information on the factors that facilitate or hinder the achievement of good environmental outcomes and shape the relationships among local delivery bodies and Defra. This phase includes an evidence review, four case studies and interviews with stakeholders. Building on these findings, in Phase 2 the project will carry out an online survey and work with practitioners to develop tools and approaches to enhance local delivery and implementation of the 25 Year Environment Plan.
The project is a collaboration between CEP, the New Economics Foundation (NEF) and the Ecosystems Knowledge Network (EKN). The project runs for the duration of 2018. For more information, please contact CEP’s Project Manager (Paula Orr) or CEP’s Project Co-ordinator (Sian Morse-Jones).
This looks like a really interesting piece of work, I have two questions; i) Has a recording of the October webinar been made publicly available? and ii) When is the final report expected to be published?
Hi Stephanie
Thank you very much for getting in touch. The recording of the October webinar ‘Using natural capital approaches to improve integrated decision-making’ is available at : https://vimeo.com/296841603
If by any chance you have trouble finding this recording, you can find it on the Ecosystems Knowledge Network website: https://ecosystemsknowledge.net/events/webinars/library
The project report is due to be reviewed by an independent peer reviewer and will then need to go through the Defra approvals process before publication, so I’m afraid that we can’t tell you exactly when it will be published.
All the best,
Paula
Hi There,
By chance has this publication become available yet? It has been cited in a recent (22nd January) Natural England report so was hoping to read it for context.
Thanks in advance,
Emily
Hi Emily,
