Environment Agency

The Environment Agency is the leading public body for protecting and improving the environment in England and Wales.

It is their job to make sure that air, land and water are looked after by everyone in today's society, so that tomorrow's generations inherit a cleaner, healthier world. Their long-term goal is for a rich, healthy and diverse environment for present and future generations. The Environment Agency wants people to have peace of mind, knowing that they live in a clean and safe environment, rich in wildlife and natural diversity - one they can enjoy to the full, but feel motivated to care for.  

Catherine Wright from the Environment Agency says 'Success of Living With Environmental Change for the Environment Agency would be clear evidence of added value and a cultural shift, which

• delivers applied research and evidence with real outcomes that improve the environment and help people
• removes the institutional barriers to collaboration allowing new partnerships and efficient access to quality assured, government-funded research
• delivers evidence at less cost / greater value for money than if partners delivered separately.'
