Westminster Energy, Environment and Transport Forum Seminar - Next steps for natural environment policy in England

Westminster Energy, Environment and Transport Forum Seminar - Next steps for natural environment policy in England

Guest of Honour: Shirley Trundle, Director, Countryside and Nature, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

In the context of the UK’s referendum vote to leave the EU, delegates at this seminar will have an opportunity to assess the next steps for biodiversity, wildlife conservation and natural capital, including priorities for wider natural environment policy.

Sessions are expected to examine the Government’s progress towards delivering a 25-year Environment Plan and the central role of the Natural Capital Committee in advising and helping to deliver this. Further discussion will cover opportunities and case studies in sustainable land and wildlife management, promoting and managing ecosystem services and creating value from the natural environment through investment and natural capital accounting.

Further sessions are expected to assess the impact of the EU referendum on the future of environmental regulation, investment in environmental conservation schemes, as well as the funding available to charities and research in the sector.
