As a member of the Environmental Policy Forum (EPF), we recently signed their joint industry response to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities’ consultation into Environmental Outcomes reporting. The response outlined four key concerns relating to how a new approach to environmental reporting can be delivered in practice:
- Missing details
- Absence of research and evidence to support claims
- Consultation with the experts
- Assurance of guidance and resource to support effective delivery
o Guidance and monitoring
o Resource
o Investment in skills
The response was signed by eight members of the EPF: British Ecological Society, Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management , Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, CIWM, Institution of Environmental Sciences, Institute of Fisheries Management and Society for the Environment.
