Conclusion (the committee's words)
At present there is no strategy to tie the reporting framework for the 25 Year Environment Plan to the ten 25 Year Environment Plan goals. Nor does the plan explain how it will be delivered by local government and arm’s length bodies or how key environmental policies, like the Environmental Land Management Scheme, will seek to deliver on the Plan’s goals. We look forward to the new monitoring and reporting cycle introduced by the Environment Bill and will be assessing whether it addresses previous issues with the reporting framework and delivers tangible improvements on the ground.
