ENPAA climate change statement

The ENPAA climate change statement was launched by Hilary Benn, Secretary of State for the Environment, at the National Parks All Party Parliamentary Group reception held on Wednesday 9 December. The statement celebrates the wide range of climate change related work that is already happening in National Parks and sets out the English National Park Authorities’ vision for future action.

Our ambitions include:

• conserving and, where needed, restoring peatlands and woodlands to lock up these large carbon stores;
• developing low carbon rural communities, where renewable energy generation appropriate for protected landscapes is the norm;
• leading on adapting to climate change at a landscape scale; and
• communicating the issues and solutions to climate change to National Park residents and visitors.

The climate change statement can be downloaded here and has been designed to be read onscreen.
