Exploring and evaluating governance and partnership approaches in flood and coastal erosion risk management.

This page is where resources on improving equality, diversity, and inclusion across CaBA partnerships will be shared.

It is well known that there is a lot to do to improve equality, diversity and inclusion in CaBA and the environment sector as a whole. The CaBA National Support Group is working to help Catchment Partnerships gain greater understanding of EDI, share best practice and provide an opportunity to discuss the challenges faced.

A new Freshwater Natural Capital report by The Rivers Trust finds that England’s rivers, canals, lakes and ponds provide annual economic benefits in excess of £1.7 billion, plus numerous wider health and biodiversity benefits.

This literature review outlines findings from 60 documents and interviews with nine experts on existing knowledge around pro-water campaigning and behaviour change.

Benefits Report of the Catchment Based Approach for 2019-20

In this report, the CaBA National Support Group worked with the National Flood Forum to identify how Flood Action Groups and CaBA groups could work more collaboratively.

Guidance for CaBA Partnerships on peatland protection and restoration, the availability of mapped data, reduction in emissions and ecosystem service benefits.

This report summarises catchment partnership resilience and the potential sources of income and strategies that could be applied by Catchment Partnerships.

The report represents a summary of work undertaken as part of a wider pilot programme exploring Catchment Partnership resilience.

The CaBA Benefits Report report states that during 2018 to 2019, for every £1 directly invested by Government, CaBA partnerships have raised £3.20 of co-finance from a diverse range of non-Governmental funders. These include corporate businesses, water and waste companies (though landfill taxes), EU funds (LIFE, Interreg and Horizon 2020) as well as lottery funds.

This document helps support further integration of water resources management – incorporating scarcity and drought management – within the framework of CaBA.

This report has been written to help catchment partnerships, and other local environmental organisations, better understand the opportunities for, and ways to rise to the challenges of, attracting additional investment for environmental gain.
