An introduction to the delivery plans for statutory and interim Environment Act targets.
The Environment Act 2021 (Environment Act) set a series of statutory targets to significantly improve the natural environment and leave it in a better state for future generations.
To ensure progress, the Environment Act requires that each statutory target has at least one interim target set in the Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP) which covers the 5 years from publication of the latest revision of the EIP.
