SocEnv has joined a broad and politically neutral coalition of leaders from across the environmental, education, planning, business and civil society sectors in issuing a joint statement calling on the UK Government to renew its commitment to nature.
The statement reaffirms support for the Government’s mission to build a fairer, greener and more prosperous Britain. However, it raises serious concerns that recent speeches, legislative proposals and policy decisions risk weakening environmental protections and undermining progress towards legally binding targets under the Environment Act 2021.
