A campaign calling for a “legal right to nature” as a key component of the government’s levelling-up reforms has been mounted.
More than 60 nature, planning, health and equality organisations have written to Michael Gove demanding he provide funding for locally accessible nature-rich spaces, including extending the levelling-up fund to green and blue infrastructure projects.
They are also recommending that the minister for levelling up, housing and communities create legal duties for developers and public bodies to provide equal access to green spaces for everyone.
