This Government is committed to ensuring this is the first generation to leave the natural environment in a better state than it found it, with the Government’s long-term agenda laid out in the 25 Year Environment Plan. For example, the £80 million Green Recovery Challenge Fund will provide funding for projects across England to restore nature while creating and safeguarding jobs and building skills in the sector. Across the projects awarded at the first round of the Fund, we estimate that more than 1,500 jobs and traineeships will be created or retained within the conservation sector and its suppliers.
