The core of the extra funding will be channelled into the revitalisation of parish and local ministry and go some way to continue enabling local parishes to serve their communities and the whole nation. The distributions will help fund dioceses’ plans by reaching more young and disadvantaged people, addressing issues of racial justice, and radically cutting the Church’s carbon footprint. By providing help for net zero programmes, and access to experts in renewable heating advice, parishes will be helped with their plans to replace gas and oil heating systems.</p>

answer text <p>Parish churches are signing up to the Eco Church scheme, which asks them to consider how they manage their building and their carbon footprint, and how they manage their churchyard or other land around the church for the benefit of people and nature. It also asks them to integrate environmental issues into their worship and teaching, to join in with wider environmental issues in their community and beyond, and to challenge congregation members to take steps to reduce carbon and take care of the planet in their own lives. <br> <br>As of October, over 4,000 CofE churches have signed up to the Eco Church scheme, 1,350 have reached bronze, just over 400 silver and 25 gold.

answer text <p>Unprecedented outbreaks of avian influenza are being seen across the UK, Europe and North America in both kept and wild birds. We recognise the significant threat highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is posing to wild birds, and in particular our seabird populations and it is deeply saddening to see the impact this is having on these important species.</p><p>Defra's disease control measures seek to contain the number of animals that need to be culled, either for disease control purposes or to safeguard animal welfare. Our approach aims to reduce adverse impacts on the rural and wider economy, the public, rural communities and the environment (including impact on wildlife), whilst protecting public health and minimising the overall cost of any outbreak.</p><p>On the 31 August 2022, Defra and the Welsh Government published the <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fmitigation-strategy-for-avian-influenza-in-wild-birds-in-england-and-wales&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7Ca59c30162bde4087d00e08dadc4ee132%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638064528578827988%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=%2FbOnt9B4tkQmsAd%2BLvA1iXDw6PFpQhPp%2BHMP5SPYKTE%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Mitigation strategy for avian influenza in wild birds in England and Wales</a> which supports our <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fnotifiable-avian-disease-control-strategy&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7Ca59c30162bde4087d00e08dadc4ee132%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638064528578827988%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=62ooQtzhMgyI5mAVuTT1N%2BAB48s8mZzgd55QYFzzQlA%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Notifiable Avian Disease Control Strategy for Great Britain</a> and contains guidance to support land managers and ornithologists in mitigating the impact of avian influenza in wild birds. While this Strategy is applicable to England and Wales, all four UK administrations work closely together with the aim of providing, where possible, a consistent and coordinated response to disease prevention, mitigation, and control across the UK.</p><p>Expert advice is sought by the Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO) and animal health policy officials through the Ornithology Expert Panel (OEP) which includes representatives from BTO, WWT, RSPB and JNCC and from the National Experts Group (NEG). In addition, Defra and the Welsh Government have commissioned JNCC to establish an Avian Influenza Wild Bird Recovery Advisory Group. The group will gather information from conservation, land management and wildlife disease experts from a range of organisations to assess what further conservation and monitoring actions can be implemented with respect to wild birds. Drawing on this, we will work with Natural England as well as key external organisations to develop and implement appropriate actions to support the recovery of vulnerable bird populations in England.</p>
