Avon Bristol & Cotswolds Environment Foundation Executive Summary
The Avon, Bristol & Cotswolds Environment Foundation (ABCEF) has been established to provide donors with a straightforward and impactful way to support nature and climate work across the four counties of the former Avon region, as well as the lower Cotswolds.
Simple, because we will connect donors with a passion for this place with high-quality projects led by locally-based organisations, overseen by expert leadership.
Effective, because we will maximise the ‘value add’ for donors, steering towards strategic, long-term change as well as staying alive to fast-moving opportunities.
A scoping study was commissioned by the Conservation Collective and carried out by local environmental consultant Harriett Williams to evaluate the environmental and conservation needs, priorities, and the social and economic contexts of the region.
ABCEF’s efforts will focus on the following thematic areas:
- Restoring and Reconnecting Nature
- Tackling Climate Change and Pollution
- Community-Driven Nature and Climate Action
Below, you can download the executive summary of the scoping report. Should you wish to access the full version, it can be made available upon request.
