World Environment Day Members' Survey

To mark World Environment Day for 2020, we've opened up this survey to hear from the most important people in our organisation - our members! 

We want to know what it is that you value, what your main concerns are and what your vision for the future looks like.

This is a short and simple survey and your responses can be as brief or detailed as you wish them to be. 

On the evening of World Environment Day (Friday 5 June) we also hosted an online workshop to discuss these key areas. To read a summary of points raised at the workshop and by other survey respondents, visit our blog. 

Thank you for your input! We value your voice very much.
