Half as many people from ethnic minorities work in the environment charity sector in the UK as do proportionally across the general workforce, new research has found.

Just 7% of people working across environmental charities identified as people of colour, compared with 14% in the workforce at large, according to the data from the Racial Action for the Climate Emergency (Race) report campaign.
