The 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 29) in Azerbaijan kicked off this week, so no better time to shine a spotlight on all we are doing to help tackle climate change and support biodiversity.
We all have a duty to contribute to the huge challenge of global climate change and loss of biodiversity, which is why we are taking real action, delivering climate focused projects which will make a huge difference.
Find out more about our work to tackle environmental issues head on.

Our staff joined the rest of the nation in paying tribute to those who have lost their lives fighting in war and conflict on Remembrance Day.
Staff from our Waste team - who are all former military personnel - laid a wreath at Totnes War Memorial on behalf of the Council, to pay tribute to those who have lost their lives fighting in war and conflict.
Our entire staff also paid their own tribute with a two-minute silence at 11 a.m.
