Environmental News from the United Kingdom on EarthWire

EarthWire/UK gives you a free daily overview of environmental news from the United Kingdom.

Every working day, a team reviews national, regional and local media sources for environment and sustainable development-related news stories. Relevant stories are included in EarthWire/UK where they can be viewed by country, topic, or time period. A search engine allows users to search for issues and keywords in the archive. Press releases and news from research organisations, the public sector, and environmental organisations are included as well.

EarthWire is used by government officials as a briefing on the day's environmental news, journalists following hot issues, students and researchers looking for current information on the state of the environment, and by anyone interested in current events and the environment.

EarthWire/UK covers media sources from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It is the fifth in a series of regional news services, the first of which was EarthWire/Norway. There is also a special edition of EarthWire for the World Summit on Sustainable Development. EarthWire/WSSD, partly financed by the Norwegian Ministry of Environment, is a joint initiative by GRID-Arendal and the South African Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism. In 2002, we started EarthWire/Serbia, in the Serbian language, as well.
