CIEEM: What you need to know about the new Environment Bill

Following on from the launch of the Environment Bill by Environment Secretary Theresa Villiers this week, CIEEM has had a chance to further digest the Bill itself.

Alongside the Bill, Government has also published a policy statement.

CIEEM was very pleased to hear the Secretary of State say that the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis are inextricably linked and that we need to pursue nature-based solutions.

She also acknowledged that efforts must be across all of Government, not just Defra, and that the need for a step change is unarguable.
