The environmental issues that concern KEF the most include: climate change, energy, sustainable local development and transport, biodiversity, waste. air quality... Some of these issues, like climate change, are global - but will affect Kingston and need to be kept on the local agenda. Others, like local development, local biodiversity and green spaces, air quality, energy efficiency and waste and recycling are more obviously local matters in which KEF and its members, and many local residents, take an interest and on which we can take action.

Please see Useful Links for a full list of current member groups and their websites,  About KEF for background information about KEF and some of its concerns and actions, and News for updates from KEF and our member-groups.
