EWSC Project Reports

This workstream explored the concept of community-based stewardship, specifically focusing on the stewardship of water-related assets in new developments.

It uncovered insights on the challenges and barriers associated with implementing community stewardship, and developed approaches for overcoming these – leading to the development of a Blueprint for water stewardship for use at different stages of community development.

You can view the research insights and the Water Stewardship Blueprint on EWSC’s Stewardship Notion page.

Our research also explored funding and finance for delivering environmental and social outcomes, an important consideration that underpins stewardship. A high-level review was conducted of funding and finance models that have been used to deliver environmental improvement, across energy, water and nature sectors, both in the UK and globally.

The review identified suitable options for the EWSC programme and proposed a roadmap for taking these forwards. You can view the findings from the funding and finance workstream in these two documents:
