Environment Agency (UK)
The UK Environment Agency is the biggest organisation protecting and improving the environment in England and Wales.
We have around 12,000 members of staff and a budget of almost £900 million. We were set up under the Environment Act 1995 and given certain duties and powers.
We are a public body - around 60 per cent of our funding comes from Government, and most of the rest comes from various charges schemes. We are independent, but we work closely with Government to get the best possible results for the environment.
Although we work across England and Wales, we have regional offices working closely with other regional bodies to develop the right solutions for local environments. We also have area offices working with local authorities and others to tackle the immediate environmental issues in your area.
