The flagship iCASP programme is making a real difference within catchment management – on the environment, economy and society
Our ambition from the outset was to turn the £5m of initial funding that we received from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) into £50m+ of benefits for Yorkshire.
These benefits include economic benefits such as influencing investments, identifying cost savings, generating funding; creating new products and jobs and improving the environment and resilience to climate change.
The monitoring and evaluation tools, we use to monitor the impact iCASP is having in the region, demonstrates that we have already surpassed our original goal – and our plan is to continue to work with partners to address a wide range of catchment management issues.
The below infographic captures some of the impacts iCASP has achieved to date (April 2024).
Impact Report
In April 2024 a full impact report was produced to mark the end of the NERC funded element of iCASP. This report provides an outline on iCASPs aims, structure and outputs along with a sample of project case studies and the impact they delivered. A copy of this report is available below.
