The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) will carry out a rapid review of its Environmental Improvement Plan, as it plans the latest overhaul of measures to meet its legally binding environmental targets. Defra will spend the next few months reviewing the EIP before coming up with a new, statutory plan to protect and restore the UK’s natural environment. The rapid review, which comes as the environment watchdog warns that the government is “largely off track” for meeting the goals of EIP23, will be completed by the end of the year. The revised strategy will include delivery plans to meet each of the targets set out in the Environment Act – which include halting the decline in species populations by 2030, halving the waste per person that is sent to residual treatment by 2042, and restoring water bodies to their natural state by cracking down on pollution from sewage and abandoned mines. Earlier this month, environment secretary Steve Reed set out five priorities for this parliament: to clean up rivers, lakes and seas; to; create a roadmap to move Britain to a zero waste economy; to boost food security; to ensure nature’s recovery; and to protect communities from the dangers of flooding.  #DEFRA #EnvironmentalImprovementPlan #EnvironmentAct https://lnkd.in/eRbVNHSQ
