Create your own butterfly effect: citizens and environmental statistics
Join the ONS and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) on at for an introduction to environmental statistics – from measuring air quality, recycling, and climate change concern, to learning how you can play a part by taking part in citizen science, like the Big Butterfly Count.

It’s more important than ever to understand what’s happening to our natural world. By collecting and analysing lots of data, we can closely monitor the changes that are happening to the environment and create statistics that make a difference – and you can play a part in this too.
