Stakeholder Aims and Objectives

Environment Agency

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

"It's our 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.” Our vision is for a healthy, rich and diverse environment."

Stakeholder Objectives

The Agency ’s vision for the SW is that:

  • People will have peace of mind knowing that they live in a clean, healthy environment - one they can enjoy to the full yet feel motivated to care for
  • Wildlife will thrive in urban and rural areas. Habitats will be improved and extended for the benefit of all species. Everyone will understand the importance of safeguarding biodiversity and protecting wildlife
  • People will enjoy cleaner and healthier air. The emission of pollutants into the atmosphere will decline greatly, below the level at which they can do significant harm.
  • Society as a whole takes into account and prepares for the probable changes to our climate. Deep cuts are made in the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide
  • Our rivers, lakes, estuaries, groundwater and coastal waters will be far cleaner. They will sustain diverse and healthy ecosystems and contribute to thriving and healthy communities by supporting recreational pursuits (e.g. water sports and fishing)
  • Land and soil in both rural and urban areas will be exposed far less to pollutants. It will support a wide range of uses, including production of healthy, nutritious food and other crops, without damaging wildlife or human health. Contaminated land will be restored and protected
  • Flood warnings and sustainable defences will continue to reduce property damage and distress due to flooding. The role of wetlands will be recognised. Flood risks due to land use and climate change will be assessed and used to influence planning decisions
  • Everyone will take responsibility for minimising the waste they produce. Waste will increasingly be seen as a potential resource. Intensive re-use and recycling of materials and efficient use of energy will become the norm. More products will be designed, marketed and licensed to minimise environmental costs. Water will be a valued resource, used wisely by everyone
  • Environmental concerns will be at the heart of business thinking and operations. Industry and business will value the services that come from a rich and diverse natural environment. In the process, they will reap the benefits of sustainable business practices, improve competitiveness and secure trust in the wider community
