  • Boy Wasted - tragic and important

    This series should be heard by everyone who has ever thrown a piece of plastic into the recycling. Made even more heartbreaking by the fossil fuel industry’s recent sabotage of the Global Plastics Treaty.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The drinking water chief on the 'super' regulator and a new NPPF
Q: How will the NPPF affect local plans and biodiversity goals, especially in relation to local authorities and planning permissions?
It will push for robust, site-specific environmental protections within local plans, maintain a presumption in favor of development while encouraging alignment with the NPPF, and require more justified and examined local plans, potentially enabling more streamlined approvals when local plans align with national standards.
The drinking water chief on the 'super' regulator and a new NPPF
Q: What is this 'super regulator' supposed to look like, and what are the risks of packing multiple regulators into one entity?
The panel emphasizes that the regulator should not be viewed as a cure-all; its success will depend on the authority, status, and integration of the DWI and other bodies, with a careful balance of regulatory philosophies to avoid undermining enforcement and risk-based approaches.
Turbulent skies: Raptor reintroductions and political hot potatoes
Q: Why does it matter that we have these birds of prey in England?
Because they are iconic species integral to the landscape, their presence marks ecological recovery after past persecution, and they serve as indicators of broader biodiversity health and habitat quality.
Britain burns as DEFRA ministerial portfolios take shape
Q: How is the National Trust preparing land managers for climate change and its increasing risks?
By developing comprehensive adaptation pathway planning, integrating water retention, habitat complexity, and proactive fire risk management, and by sharing best practices with regulators and partners to build a more resilient landscape.
Britain burns as DEFRA ministerial portfolios take shape
Q: What needs to be done to respond on a policy level to these droughts, wildfires, and floods of the future?
A climate-for-change approach across government is needed, with cabinet-level responsibility for climate-informed decisions rather than treating it as an edge-case issue; coordination across departments is essential to implement proactive, long-term adaptation.
