The Environment Agency,
evidence 

and infographics…
Name Liane Bradbrook,
Job Title Evidence Advisor
Date May 2014

email liane.bradbrook@environment-agency.gov.uk
We are the Environment Agency
We are an Executive Non-departmental Public Body responsible to
the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
We protect and improve the environment and make it a better place
for people and wildlife.
We operate at the place where environmental change has its greatest
impact on people’s lives. We reduce the risks to people and
properties from flooding; make sure there is enough water for people
and wildlife; protect and improve air, land and water quality and
apply the environmental standards within which industry can operate.
Acting to reduce climate change and helping people and wildlife
adapt to its consequences are at the heart of all that we do.
We cannot do this alone. We work closely with a wide range of
partners including government, business, local authorities, other
agencies, civil society groups and the communities we serve.
The Environment Agency
Our funding
Government provides 62 per cent of our funding.
The remainder comes from charging schemes such
as environmental permits, rod licences and boat fee’s.
We spend around 55 per cent of our income on flood
and coastal risk management
28 per cent on environmental protection
12 per cent on safeguarding water resources and 5
percent on fisheries, conservation and navigation.
What does Evidence do?

Our approach to visualisation
Complex datasets &/or Visualisation for
analysis
Narrative lead infographic products for
engagement, more complex
information. Some commissioned.
Developing in-house skills and
capabilty, tackling non standard and
custom graphics. Supporting
incident response
Beyond excel standard
outputs, Improving basic
skills, making use of what we
have: Powerpoint
Wherewehavegotto
Strategy: Developing skills, interest and demand

Developing skills: thinking visually - infographic CV’s
Think Powerpoint is just for bullet points?

Climate Change and Resource Efficiency
!
Kim Dowsett, CCRE Team.
!
Kim. Dowsett@environment-agency.gov.uk
Act to reduce
climate change
and its
consequences
We help England and Wales
meet greenhouse gas
emissions targets in ways
that minimise other
environmental impacts
We help people and wildlife
adapt to climate change and
reduce its adverse impacts
We put reducing and
adapting to climate change
at the heart of everything we
do
EA’s role in mitigation
Regulator of greenhouse gas
emissions
Regulator of low carbon
technologies
Deployment of low carbon
infrastructure
Mitigation – reducing our greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency,
reduced energy demand and renewable energy.
EA’s role in adaptation
Adaptation action plans exist for all
our functions
We embed adaptation in Agency
roles and functions in particular
flood risk, water resources and
biodiversity
Help others to adapt through the
Climate Ready support service
Adaptation - preparing for the unavoidable impacts of climate change
The challenges
1. Catchment visualisation tool

2. Displaying sea level rise projections

3. Displaying future flows information

4. Displaying climate projections for a particular geographical location

5. Communicating risk

6. What does an adapted business look like?

7. Business & Supply Chains

8. Habitat impacted by coastal squeeze and habitat creation targets?

9. Extreme weather events timeline

10. Financial impacts of climate/weather on the economy

11. Food security

12. How local authorities can adapt to changes in climate

  • 60. The Environment Agency, evidence 
 and infographics… Name Liane Bradbrook, Job Title Evidence Advisor Date May 2014 ! email liane.bradbrook@environment-agency.gov.uk
  • 61. We are the Environment Agency We are an Executive Non-departmental Public Body responsible to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. We protect and improve the environment and make it a better place for people and wildlife. We operate at the place where environmental change has its greatest impact on people’s lives. We reduce the risks to people and properties from flooding; make sure there is enough water for people and wildlife; protect and improve air, land and water quality and apply the environmental standards within which industry can operate. Acting to reduce climate change and helping people and wildlife adapt to its consequences are at the heart of all that we do. We cannot do this alone. We work closely with a wide range of partners including government, business, local authorities, other agencies, civil society groups and the communities we serve.
  • 63. Our funding Government provides 62 per cent of our funding. The remainder comes from charging schemes such as environmental permits, rod licences and boat fee’s. We spend around 55 per cent of our income on flood and coastal risk management 28 per cent on environmental protection 12 per cent on safeguarding water resources and 5 percent on fisheries, conservation and navigation.
  • 64. What does Evidence do? Research Communities and Flooding Climate Change and Resource Efficiency Air, Land and Water Chemical Assessment Unit (UK environmental hazard & risk assessment expertise on behalf of Defra) Data, Mapping, Modelling & Information Statistics Modelling Directives Reporting Data Standards Data Sharing & Access Data Management Data Integrity Commercial Licensing Monitoring, Analysis & Innovation Monitoring Strategy Risk and Forecasting Innovation Catchment Sensitive Farming Also: Economics, Social Science, Strategic Environmental Planning, Integrated Assessment, Partnerships and Engagement, Publishing and Support Services

Developing in-house skills and capabilty, tackling non standard and custom graphics. Supporting incident response Beyond excel standard outputs, Improving basic skills, making use of what we have: Powerpoint Wherewehavegotto Strategy: Developing skills, interest and demand

  • 71. Act to reduce climate change and its consequences We help England and Wales meet greenhouse gas emissions targets in ways that minimise other environmental impacts We help people and wildlife adapt to climate change and reduce its adverse impacts We put reducing and adapting to climate change at the heart of everything we do
  • 72. EA’s role in mitigation Regulator of greenhouse gas emissions Regulator of low carbon technologies Deployment of low carbon infrastructure Mitigation – reducing our greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency, reduced energy demand and renewable energy.
  • 73. EA’s role in adaptation Adaptation action plans exist for all our functions We embed adaptation in Agency roles and functions in particular flood risk, water resources and biodiversity Help others to adapt through the Climate Ready support service Adaptation - preparing for the unavoidable impacts of climate change
