AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoHeat & health: UKHSA says 2,877 heat-associated deaths occurred in May–June 2026, nearly double all of 2025, with 2026 “likely” to top the record year of 2022—another stark warning as temperatures keep breaking monthly records. Drought in the UK: Wales has extended its drought declaration across the whole country after just 8% of average July rainfall, with rivers and groundwater under severe strain and wildfire risk rising. Wildfire politics: Suffolk’s climate emergency row is back in focus after a major Dunwich Heath fire, with calls to reinstate the declaration and critics pointing to climate-driven fire danger. Waste & recycling: Veolia has won a £183m, 10-year East London contract to redevelop waste transfer stations and expand reuse and recycling centres, aiming to cut burning and boost recovery. Community climate action: A petition backed by 12,000 people pushes for a ban on disposable BBQs, arguing heatwave-linked fires and waste make them untenable. Green innovation: Veolia’s contract and Wales’ drought response sit alongside new circular-economy wins, including an ESG-positive e-waste recovery operator celebrating landfill diversion and emissions cuts.
