Legislation will improve air and water quality, tackle waste, increase recycling, halt the decline of species, and improve our natural environment.
Legislation that will protect and enhance our environment for future generations has now passed into UK law.
Through the Act, we will clean up the country’s air, restore natural habitats, increase biodiversity, reduce waste and make better use of our resources.
It will halt the decline in species by 2030, require new developments to improve or create habitats for nature, and tackle deforestation overseas.
