FWIE X Met Office: How can the Met Office work to boost biodiversity? With Ben Drummond
Meet Ben Drummond, an atmospheric air quality scientist by day, and chair of the Met Office’s biodiversity working group by night (or just, around his working hours). He's part of a team striving to ensure the Met Office site near Exeter itself is an eco-conscious space that also provides varied habitats for wildlife.
In late 2025, we spent the day speaking with meteorologists and experts about what this iconic institution does as a powerhouse of weather data analysis and science communication, and also to explore how climate change is impacting the weather we experience every day.
