COP28 UK Government sets out ambitious new nature package, with measures to improve access to green space and connect the public with the natural world

Government pledges to boost Britain’s access to nature ahead of COP28.

Helping more people get access to our natural heritage and putting nature at the forefront of government efforts to tackle climate change are at the heart of a new package announced by the Environment Secretary today (29 November).

The new package of measures includes launching a search for a new National Park, 34 new landscape recovery projects, new forests and funding to help more children get outdoors and into the great British countryside, in what is the latest step by the government in its drive to improve public access to the natural world and recover nature.
