⏰ The #GreenerUK project is ending!

Over 7 years we have worked with NGOs, parliamentarians & businesses to track changes to environmental protections & improve legislation

Look 👇 for some highlights - and what comes next

For there’s still much more to do

[Greener UK @GreenerUK_]

So with the @OfficeforEP on the case of potential legal breaches, #REUL-related laws still on the block & a big election to come in 2024, do follow @GreenAllianceUK for the new unit’s work.

But now, and for #GreenerUK, that’s it. /The end!

And that brings us to what’s next:

A new governance and legislation unit, operating out of @GreenAllianceUK, will act as a focal point for the sector on green legislation issues & campaign for strong environmental governance ⚖️ 13/

📢 Transparency WIN! 👀

After three years of parliamentary questions and an FOI nudge, the govt has published the 'business case' for @OfficeforEP

It sets out the many benefits of this important body.

This will come in handy to combat any attempts to weaken the watchdog.

🌴 It's great to see these plans progressing 🌴

Tropical forests are irreplaceable: home to indigenous peoples & rare #wildlife - & crucial to tackling #climatechange

Still, the plans are not in law yet. Govt must get them through parliament asap in NY

.@neill_pippa reveals that ministers ignored advice of Defra officials when choosing to scrap two crucial air quality regulations via #REUL 👇

Govt should reconsider this ASAP https://t.co/KF9jdXfjuN

Government signals more changes to #chemical safety post #Brexit 👇

Ministers once promised a 'better' system than the EU's

But does reducing required safety information to an ‘irreducible minimum’ really indicate we're heading for higher standards? https://t.co/IR6es5UPX7

The latest update on the ATR model for UK REACH was sparse on the detail, but confirmed more is coming in 2024 (+consultation).

Still -- some insights to be gleaned --Thank you @CHEMTrust @Chlexander, @GreenerUK_ @ruthmchambers and @WCL_News @emmacadler for your comments!
