The goal of the UK’s environmental and climate policy should be to enable businesses to thrive while enhancing nature for future generations... Through our key policy groups IEMA has developed a series of recommendations for policymakers that we believe can help make the realisation of this goal a reality. Importantly, these recommendations should not be considered in a siloed way. All of these areas relate to one another in a practical sense and so should be considered as a package of joined-up interventions.
In August 2023, IEMA published their key climate and biodiversity recommendations for UK policymakers.
Key areas
Published ahead of party conference season, the document puts forward recommendations relating to:
• Green skills and jobs
• Biodiversity and natural capital
• Circular economy
• Climate change and energy
• Impact assessment.
Additional note: SocEnv are collaborating with IEMA on policy priorities, notably addressing the cross-sector skills challenge, as part of the collaborative Environmental Policy Forum.
