Details
This is the Environment Agency’s first Chief Scientist’s annual review. In a year when science has touched all our lives during the Covid19 pandemic, it is timely to acknowledge the value of our scientists and the work they do to help us understand, protect and improve the environment. Whether it’s tackling climate change, moving to Net Zero, understanding the risks posed by chemicals, or managing scarce resources, the challenges we face all require science to inform how we respond.
This annual review is intended to demonstrate the quality of science and evaluation we do in the Environment Agency and the impact it has on our work, particularly in achieving the Environment Agency’s 5-year action plan (EA2025) and the Government’s 25-year Environment Plan.
