Policy Submissions

2021

Note: The EPF is still very much active but our priorities for this year are focused on the Environment Bill and COP26. 

​

As such, we haven't collaborated on written submissions to consultations yet in 2021, but have instead focused on other activities. You can view the recordings of our recent EPF event series looking at environmental governance in Northern Ireland via our events page

​

We have also been working hard to prepare our plans for COP26 this November, so watch this space!
