Living with Environmental Change (LWEC)

Living with Environmental Change is an ambitious and innovative partnership of UK government departments and agencies, devolved administrations, local government and research councils. The partnership benefits from a business advisory board which draws on the expertise of business leaders from a wide variety of companies.

Together, Living with Environmental Change partners can identify the most pressing economic and social challenges to do with environmental change, align their efforts to meet those challenges and co-ordinate funding for the leading multidisciplinary research and observation that the UK can offer.

The partnership has a growing international reputation and has a role in developing the UK's green economy with relevant skills, tools, knowledge and innovation.

Living with Environmental Change activities contribute to better predictions and analysis of environmental change and help society to adapt to the impacts of change without causing further damage to the natural environment.
