At the Environment Agency we protect and improve the environment, acting to reduce the impacts of a changing climate on people and wildlife is at the heart of everything we do.

We’re investing £5.2 billion between 2021 and 2027 in our Capital Programme that will reduce flood risk to 336,000 properties across the UK, contribute to sustainable green growth and the creation of a great environment for all.
