The Nature and Wellbeing Strategy Group works to make the case for, and take opportunities to progress through policy changes, the nature and people agenda.
The Group has produced a statement on the importance of nature to people and of people to nature. We will build on that momentum and use our collective expertise and influence to affect tangible policy changes that benefit people and nature. In particular, the Group is advocating for a new human right to a healthy natural environment for all people, and expanding people's rights and opportunities to access and engage with nature, through a variety of means.
Most recently, the Group responded to a DHSC consultation on major health conditions and submitted evidence to an EFRA inquiry on urban green spaces.
