Fens 2100+: We're transforming the approach to investing in flood and coastal resilience for the future of the UK Fens - work with us

What is Fens 2100+?

A £9.8m programme to develop a Fens-wide flood resilience investment strategy that achieves long-term value for money and generates regional and national benefits. It’s being developed with, and for, Flood Risk Management Authorities so they can plan for the next 20-25 years of flood risk management. This investment strategy will be completed in 2025.

Why is it needed?

Managing water in the Fens is estimated to deliver in excess of £58bn worth of benefits – both through direct protection to people and properties, businesses, critical infrastructure, and agricultural land, and through indirect benefits to the local economy, for example through jobs, and the food and drink sector supply chain. However, we’ll need to invest differently in the way we manage water and flood risk assets in future because of climate change impacts. We know there’s a significant funding gap – addressing this funding gap is a core reason for undertaking Fens 2100+ now. Get in touch to find out more about how we are working with others.
