The fourth annual state of natural capital report has been published by the Natural Capital Committee- an independent advisory body to government.
This report sets out the work done by the committee since March and makes a series of recommendations to government on developing the 25 year environment plan.
Recommendations include that the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan should be placed on a statutory footing to move from aspiration to practical implementation and a White Paper in 2017 setting out the 25 Year Environment Plan and laying the groundwork for necessary legislation in due course.
