英格兰近半议会选区居民缺乏15分钟步行距离内的自然空间

野生动物信托基金会的研究揭示了英格兰自然空间可达性的现状。1该组织发现，英格兰近一半的议会选区居民无法在15分钟步行距离内到达绿色或蓝色空间。1这与政府目标存在差距——政府致力于确保所有人都能在15分钟步行距离内获得自然空间。1

为推动改善，野生动物信托基金会向政府提交了一份绿皮书，旨在加快工党政府兑现选举承诺。1建议包括使地方当局更容易使用强制购买权购地、建立社区购买自然空间土地的权利、将自然视为必要基础设施、要求开发商创建气候友好型住宅，以及使河流访问权成为法定权利。1

Research by the Wildlife Trust has revealed that nearly half of parliamentary constituencies in England lack adequate access to green or blue spaces within a 15-minute walk, despite government targets designed to ensure such accessibility for all residents.1 The charity has submitted a green paper to the government, seeking to accelerate the Labour administration's fulfilment of its election pledges to improve access to natural spaces and advance biodiversity protection.1

The Wildlife Trust's proposals include measures to facilitate local authorities' use of compulsory purchase powers to acquire land, establish community rights to buy natural spaces, designate nature as essential infrastructure, require developers to incorporate climate-friendly housing, and convert river access into a statutory right.1 These recommendations reflect the scale of the challenge facing England's natural environment accessibility, with the crisis framed as comparable in severity to the air quality catastrophe that plagued Victorian Britain.1
