On 29 May 2018 the Catchment Management Declaration was launched at the Water Summit attended by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales to gather commitment and action for a multisector approach to catchment management. |
Decisions and positions of the group do not represent the policies or positions of CISL or of the wider University of Cambridge.
The Catchment Leadership Network was established to drive a step change in the level of activity on catchment management by:
- supporting strategic business engagement in catchment management;
- identifying and addressing barriers, gaps and enablers that will catalyse a sustainable model for catchment management in the UK and Ireland;
- strengthening institutional capacities and enablers, including financial mechanisms and governance approaches to engage in catchment management;
- capturing, learning from and applying best practice; and
- facilitating and showcasing the delivery of exemplar cross-sector catchment management schemes and partnerships.
The Catchment Leadership Network has developed a two-phase programme of work to address these barriers and common challenges across catchments. Phase 1 aims to work with specific catchment projects to identify issues and formulate, implement and test solutions. Phase 2 will draw upon these test cases to assist and scale up the delivery of further catchment projects and to engage in relevant policy mechanisms.
