Local Government’s Role
Working with local government – Defra develops a Joint Environmental Prospectus with the Local Government Association.
Local Government is vital to meeting our main environmental outcomes: tackling and adapting to climate change; maintaining a healthy natural environment and sustainably managing our natural resources; and providing a clean, safe, and green local environment.
The Joint Environmental Prospectus
Defra and the Local Government Association have been working together to identify our joint environmental priorities, ways in which the defra network are supporting delivery and the key characteristics of an environmentally good council.
