Read our new 'National Parks and the Climate Emergency' report
The changing climate is already having a significant impact on our National Parks. Wildfires, flooding and droughts are increasing. As extreme weather events become even more frequent, there is likely to be a progressively more noticeable effect on the landscape, wildlife and cultural heritage in National Parks and the communities that live in them.
Our latest report National Parks and the Climate Emergency looks at what is currently being done in National Parks in England and Wales and what more is needed. We have a number of recommendations for both Westminster and Welsh Governments and National Park Authorities.
CNP Chair Janette Ward said: "National Parks were founded on a vision for a better world, and we present our findings in the spirit of wanting to ensure that all the National Parks in England and Wales can contribute to a better future by tackling the most pressing issues of our time."
