Strategy and Project Funding
Our Strategy
Our 10-year strategy for the British Antarctic Territory was developed with stakeholders, setting out our objectives and funding priorities.
The headline objectives are:
to promote the British Antarctic Territory and UK in Antarctica, including increasing awareness through education and outreach with partners;
to protect the Territory’s environment, on the basis of thorough science and research;
to preserve British heritage for future generations;
to effectively administer the Territory, ensuring there is an effective and proportionate legislative and administrative framework;
to effectively manage the Territory’s finances in accordance with the best financial practice.
The strategy is a living document and is reviewed every year.
Our current strategy covers the period 2019 to 2029.

Project Funding
We fund a number of projects each year which support the five headline objectives.
We are self-financing, generating revenue primarily from the sale of stamps and coins, and from income tax payable by those stationed on the UK research bases.
