We are the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA).
We are the global professional body for over 20,000 individuals and 300 organisations working, studying or interested in the environment and sustainability.
We are the professional organisation at the centre of the sustainability agenda, connecting business and individuals across industries, sectors and borders.
We also help and support public and private sector organisations, governments and regulators to do the right thing when it comes to environment and sustainability related initiatives, challenges and opportunities. We work to influence public policy on environment and sustainability matters. We do this by drawing on the insights and experience of our members to ensure that what happens in practice influences the development of government policy, legislation, regulations and standards.

Beta v.0.4 of the TNFD Risk and Opportunity Framework has been released. This is the last draft that will be available for consultation before the launch of the final TNFD document in September 2023. IEMA’s Policy and Engagement Lead on biodiversity and natural capital, Lesley Wilson, reports.

The UK’s official climate advisors – the Climate Change Committee – have told the government that despite the climate emergency having ‘arrived’ in the country, there is a ‘striking lack’ of climate preparation from government. IEMA's Digital Journalist Tom Pashby reports.
