As the Defra Minister responsible for the 25-year Environment Plan when it was published, I’m pleased to see the next steps announced by the Prime Minister over the weekend. Including:
Thousands of green jobs created and retained.
An additional £40m investments into the government’s Green Recovery Challenge Fund.
Landscape Recovery Projects launched across England to restore peatlands, woodlands and create wilder landscapes.
New national parks and greater protections for England’s iconic landscapes.
