正文(英文) | The public, scientists, local authorities and industry are invited to give their views on urgent questions and inform future policies ![]() The government has today (Monday 8 July) launched a call for evidence which will form the basis for future policies to protect people, businesses and the environment from the devastating effects of flooding and coastal erosion. Over the coming decades, flood and coastal erosion risks are set to increase as a result of population growth and climate change. In order to deal with these, the government is already providing £2.6 billion over six years, delivering more than 1,000 projects to better protect 300,000 homes. This is on top of £1 billion by 2020 to maintain flood defences. Despite the investment, it is important to strengthen the flood and coastal erosion policy framework to ensure that we can continue to manage these risks effectively. That is why the government will, by the end of this year, set out its policy direction to better prepare the country for future flooding and coastal erosion – while making the most of the opportunities for wider economic, social and environmental benefits in our towns, countryside and coast. Responses to the call for evidence will be used to inform the upcoming government policy statement on flooding and coastal erosion, a national infrastructure strategy and the decisions made in a spending review. Environment Minister Thérèse Coffey said:
The Environment Agency will also update its national strategy for flood and coastal erosion, based on the new government policy statement and the responses to their own recent consultation. The call for evidence, which was first announced on the same date as the Environment Agency’s Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) draft strategy in May 2019, will look at a series of key flood and coast policy issues that the government is currently considering. Areas where additional evidence is needed include:
It will run for six weeks and will be open to any interested parties in England only. The deadline for response is 19 August 2019.
