Data-led environmental strategy for councils and public spaces.
The Dilemma
Climate change is reshaping the way councils manage public landscapes, driving both hotter, drier summers & warmer, wetter
winters.
As the UK faces increasingly extreme weather, local authorities need practical ways to protect the green spaces their communities rely on. But resilience is about more than reaching Net Zero. It requires smarter land management, strategic planting and long-term protection of valuable green assets - helping organisations take meaningful action today while preparing their landscapes for the challenges of tomorrow.
Around 1/3
of UK greenhouse gas emissions are influenced by decisions made at the local level, including transport, housing, planning, waste, and procurement. Councils are at the forefront of delivering
the UK's Net Zero ambitions.
191 million
tonnes of total waste was generated in the UK in 2020.
With local authorities playing a vital role in managing household and green waste. Diverting biodegradable waste from landfill reduces methane emissions and supports a circular economy.

long-term carbon storage across amenity grassland.
Rickley Park is a well-used amenity grassland site with a history that has shaped its soils. Originally agricultural land, the site was used for temporary barracks during the Second World War before being returned to grassland and later managed for leisure and sport.
