Mr. Morley

Defra and colleague Departments worked together with the Environment Agency on a campaign to mark World Environment Day. This included asking members of the public to sign "the Pledge to the Future" to identify ways they can improve their local environment, and a publicity campaign by the Environment Agency on how businesses can make their organisations more sustainable.

Defra Ministers also participated in the launch of London Environmental Week to mark World Environment Day.
