December MiniPod (Flooding Funding, Neonicitinoids & Nature Connection)

  • Summary

  • Welcome to our December MiniPod - a monthly update where we're joined by an expert guest & we react to current events in water, climate and nature - all in about 15 minutes.

    In this episode we're joined by Will McBain, a Director of Water at Arup and we explore...

    1. The UK Government review of partnership funding regime for Flood and coastal erosion risk management.

    2. New figures that reveal that 86% of rivers tested in 2023-24 in England were found to have bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides present whilst the office of environmental protection opens an investigation into Defra's emergency authorisation of the use of the pesticides.

    3. Will's passion for a multi-generational programme of nature connection.

    Our 2024 Season of Planet Possible is supported by Atkins Realis.
