Environment Agency – Who Are we?

The Environment Agency for England and Wales is one of the largest environmental regulators in Europe. We have around 12,000 employees and an annual budget of approximately £1billion.
It is our job to regulate and manage the environment in England and Wales by taking an integrated approach to protecting and improving the the quality of air, land and water.
We are a public body - around 60 per cent of our funding comes from Government, and most of the rest comes from various charging schemes. We are independent, but we work closely with Government to get the best possible results for the environment.

Our work includes:

Protecting people from flood - last year we increased flood protection to around 30,000 properties by building or improving our flood defences .

Working with industry to protect the environment and human health - since 1990 we have reduced the amount of sulphur dioxide released into the air by 75 per cent. Sulphur dioxide can create acid rain and damage people's health.

Concentrating our effort on higher risk businesses - those that run potentially hazardous operations, or whose performance just isn't coming up to scratch

Helping business use resources more efficiently - over half of the waste produced by business we regulate is not being put to other uses, including recycling and producing energy.

Taking action against those who don't take their environmental responsibilities seriously - every year we bring hundreds of offenders to justice, leading to millions of pounds of fines.

Looking after wildlife - we complete around 400 projects every year to improve the places threatened species live. Over the last 25 years there has been a six-fold increase in the places otters can be found in England

Helping the people get the most out of their environment, including boaters and anglers. We sell over a million rod licences a year, many to young people coming into the sport for the first time. All the money we raise goes straight back into improving the places people fish.

Working with farmers to build their role as guardians of the environment, tackling pollution we cannot see as well as adding to the beauty of the countryside.

Helping to improve the quality of inner city areas and parks by restoring rivers and lakes

Influencing and working with Government, industry and local authorities to make the environment a priority.


环境署——我们是谁？

英格兰和威尔士的环境署是欧洲最大的环境管理机构之一。我们拥有大约12000名雇员以及约十亿英镑的年预算。
我们的工作是凭借综合手段去保护和改善空气、土壤和水的质量，以此来调节和管理英格兰和威尔士的环境。
我们是一个公立机构——约60%的资金来自于政府，剩余的大部分则来自于各种各样的罚款方案。虽然我们是独立的，但是我们紧密地和政府合作以取得保护环境的最佳可能效果。

我们的工作包括：

保护人们免受洪灾——去年我们通过修建和改善我们的洪水防卫设施使防洪工事增加至大约30000处。

与工厂一道来保护环境和人民健康——自1990年起我们已经将排放到空气中的二氧化硫的数量减少了75%。二氧化硫能导致酸雨以及损害人们的健康。

将努力集中在高危行业——即那些运行存在潜在危险的操作的行业，或者它们的行为表现还不能够达到标准。

帮助企业更有效地使用资源——在我们管控的由企业排放的废物中超过半数没有另作他用，包括在循环和生产能源。

对那些不严肃对待其环境责任的个人或企业采取行动——每年我们都要将数以百计的环境冒犯者送交审判，从而产生了数以百万英镑的罚款。

保护野生动物——我们每年完成约400个计划去改善那些威胁物种生存的地方。在过去的25年里，英国可发现水獭的地方增加了6倍。

帮助人们从环境中获取最大的收益，包括船夫和钓鱼者。我们每年出售逾一百万的钓鱼许可，其中很多出售给了那些初次进入这一运动领域的年轻人。我们赚取得所有钱财都直接投入到改善人们钓鱼的环境中。

与农民合作，通过让他们处理我们看不到的污染以及美化郊区来树立他们环境保护者的形象。

通过修建河流和湖泊来帮助改善城市内部地区和公园的质量。

施加影响并与政府、工业和地方当局合作使环境问题具有优先地位。
