WM2041 Actions

Investing in the resilience of our places: the first five years

  • Natural Capital investment begins: the Natural Capital Investment Strategy and Delivery Programme (currently in its early stages) will be delivered. • Urban greening on transport infrastructure: bus and Metro shelters located in places exposed to heat and flooding could be replaced with ‘green roof’ shelters.
  • West Midlands National Park: developing the commitment to creating a regional National Park, building on work developed by Birmingham City University.
  • Expanded natural environment workforce: explore development of a workforce strategy for the natural environment, drawing on employment pathways that already exist in the sector – e.g. the Heritage Lottery funded ‘Natural Prospects’ scheme run by the Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust (20).
  • West Midlands ‘crowd planting’ tree challenge: WMCA commitment to plant a tree for every resident, via a ‘crowd planting’ platform.
