iCasp – Helping The Local Environment
Description
iCasp, also known as the Yorkshire Integrated Catchment Solutions Programme, is an ambitious 6-year programme funded by the Natural Environment Research Council. They are currently working on over 40 projects to: reduce flood and drought risk, improve the resilience of cities to climate change, preserve valuable areas of peat in the moors, develop sustainable agriculture, and devise business cases for greening city developments and making more space for water.
In this podcast, join Catherine Seal, Dr Tom Willis and Dr Jenny Armstrong as they discuss some of the local projects based in the local area.
