Environment

Creating a better environment in the West Midlands for people and nature

The WMCA Environment Programme is split into four distinct themes, with a cross-cutting theme of behaviour change.

The programme works alongside WMCA’s net zero WM2041 agenda to create a better environment and tackle climate change.

Each programme theme has its own strategy or plan that provides the evidence to inform WMCA’s priorities for delivery. The programme areas include:

  • Natural Environment
  • Circular Economy
  • Climate Adaptation
  • Air Quality

Since October 2023 the Environment programme has also included the Community Environment Fund, which provides support to communities in delivering initiatives that improve the environment and people's lives.
