Recommendation 12

Paragraph: 45
DEFRA should establish a standard methodology for tracking, monitoring and reporting on light pollution.
Recommendation
DEFRA should establish a standard methodology for tracking, monitoring and reporting on light pollution. This should be in place by the next five-year Environmental Improvement Plan cycle. The Government should commission a regular survey to track light pollution once the methodology is agreed. The research should aim to understand both indoor and outdoor exposure to artificial light at night, so its health impact can be quantified.
