ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES

The Regional Environment Strategy and Action Plan can be downloaded from www.emra.gov.uk/publications/housing-planning-and-transport/environment/.
EMEL and our member groups have played a full role in the Regional Assembly's Environment Group and Environment Advisory Group which have led development of the strategy.

EMEL members also sit on the Regional Biodiversity Forum which has produced the East Midlands Biodiversity Strategy, a daughter strategy to the Regional Environment Strategy, which can be downloaded from the same web page. Charlotte Gault (TWTs) chairs the Biodiversity Forum.

Reports on Green Infrastructure and Soil Resources can also be downloaded from the same page.

In October 2007 the Regional Assembly launched a consultation on climate change. EMEL's response can be downloaded here. A Programme of Action was launched in February 2009. It can be downloaded from www.climate-em.org.uk/ with background information at www.emra.gov.uk/climatechange.

HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT

The National Trust and English Heritage sit on the Regional Heritage Forum which produced Viewpoints on the Historic Environment of the East Midlands which can be downloaded from the same page as the Regional Environment Strategy.
