State of the Environment - North West

Read about the North West State of the Environment.

The North West has a diverse environment from industrialised and urban areas in Manchester and Liverpool to the beautiful countryside of the Lake District, rural Lancashire and Cheshire.

These pages will give you some information about the work that we are already doing.

We are also planning how we will meet the challenges over the next five years that are set out in our new corporate strategy Creating a better place 2010-15.

The North West's regional contribution will be based on evidence from four key themes defined in the new strategy. You can download a summary of the evidence (PDF, 1.42MB) underpinning our region's contributions. The evidence documents for the individual themes can be downloaded from these links:

The pages for our 8 existing themes can be accessed from these links:
