nature

levels of action from governments across the world and a focus on prioritising nature. COP15 also produced a requirement for nature disclosures for businesses. Companies like Canary Wharf Group will soon be required to publicly report their impact on the natural world.

This focus on nature fits perfectly with our existing plans for the estate. We have already started to enhance the greenery you can see around Canary Wharf and the revitalisation of the Middle Dock this spring, adding a whole host of new plants to the estate and allowing people to access the water more directly.

It is great to have the parks and open space we have here and I’m so excited about the plans we have put in place to continue to build these brilliant spaces over the coming years.

I’m also hopeful, after the result of the COP15 conference, that the wider importance of these spaces is recognised, and that we can all act together to protect nature for ourselves and for the generations to come.
