Today we officially opened the £38 million newly upgraded Foss Barrier in York, now one of the most resilient flood defences in the country, meaning 2,000 properties will be better protected from the impacts of climate change.

These projects will drive private sector investment in nature and help tackle climate change 🌍

They’ve secured grants in round 2 of investments from our Natural Environment Investment Readiness Fund.

Watch the video to see what they will do.

Fantastic to visit the @microsoft stand in the Green Zone at #COP26 with @K_Fletcher_MP for a preview of the Preston World in Microsoft Minecraft. Based on the £55M flood scheme, young people can embrace #STEM subjects and learn about flood risk & climate change - launching soon!

"Adapt or die" - not often you hear such apocalyptic words from a public official but the @EnvAgency is worried no one's thinking of the risks of climate change https://t.co/1wf5TEjJzx - I've been talking to @EmmaHowardBoyd ahead of #COP26

[Environment Agency @EnvAgency]

We need to invest in early climate adaptation to protect communities from the effects of #ClimateChange.

Our Adaptation report sets out how we can meet these challenges: https://t.co/ImOpelrQNM

Flood levels are dropping in #York on #RiverOuse and #RiverFoss but remain high. Stay safe and ensure you don't walk, cycle or drive through flood water @CityofYork

An opportunity to set out hopes for the #RiverWharfe & for Government & @EnvAgency to understand local priorities. A bathing water designation would take time + investment to achieve safely but could signify big changes for water quality. Please have your say.

Chairs of three major official agencies, @EmmaHowardBoyd @EnvAgency @williamrworsley @ForestryComm & I @NaturalEngland, say that #GreenRecovery must be at the heart of national recovery. We can do this, if we want to #BuildBackBetter @GreenAllianceUK https://t.co/Qi8k0HRyKm

My reporters, sadly, attend court hearings regularly where domestic violence is raked over. Never, EVER, would I blast up the perpetrator's defence. Especially a boastful lack of contrition.

If this is journalism, I'm starting to think I'm in the wrong job.

We're pleased that the #Clementhorpe section of the #YorkFAS #flood defences, which will better protect 135 properties, was approved by @CityofYork planners today. We'll be working with council officers to discharge all the conditions.

[Environment Agency - Yorkshire & North East @EnvAgencyYNE]

Join our 1st virtual consultation event run by #YorkFAS about plans to help protect properties in the #Skeldergate area from #flooding. It's next Thursday, 18 June at 6.30pm. @CityofYork

@BlacksHelpTeam Hi. You’re not available to DM. The order number is 604433452.

The flood water in York is now noticeably receding, including the lake that formed on the Knavesmire (racecourse), but still enough for a couple of kayakers I snapped going for a paddle on it yesterday: https://t.co/LCD184G3tz

[Environment Agency - Yorkshire & North East @EnvAgencyYNE]

One tonne dumper sandbags installed by @CityofYork have been left in place following Storm Ciara to protect homes on River Street and Colenso Street.

We plan to install a floodgate here as part of the £45m #York Flood Alleviation Scheme this year.

@JayMitchinson 18 months of pressure to get this far - shows, more than ever, the importance of press and public scrutiny.

[George Hinton @georgehinton]

@HalifaxBank Great, thanks Laura. Much appreciated!

[George Hinton @georgehinton]

This sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday!

Major funding boost for River Aire revitalisation project.
The DNAire project will see fish passes added to four weirs, enabling migratory fish, such as salmon, to reach gravel-bedded tributaries in the Yorkshire Dales where they can spawn.
