#GenerationGreen News Update – Generation Green praised by Defra

Generation Green has been praised in the government’s response to Glover’s National Landscapes Review.

The long-awaited report, which was published on 15 January 2022, highlighted Generation Green (Chapter 3: People and Places) as an example of how national-scale partnerships and coordinated collaboration can increase engagement with all parts of society.

The report also said ‘the government is proud to support more diverse and inclusive engagement, such as the Generation Green programme’. The report laid out plans by the Environment Secretary George Eustice, to:

? encourage improved access to our protected landscapes and nature for all parts of society, particularly where this supports improved public health and wellbeing.

? continue support for the local communities that live and work in protected landscapes, helping preserve our heritage for future generations.

? drive nature recovery and nature-based solutions within protected landscapes to help address the twin challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change.

? apply structural changes and resources to support our protected landscapes in delivering more for nature, climate, people and places.
