On 19 December 2018, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) published [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/draft-environment-principles-and-governance-bill-2018 draft clauses on environmental principles and governance].

These draft clauses will be part of a broader Environment Bill introduced early in the second session of parliament, which will include legislative measures to take direct action to address the biggest environmental priorities:

* air quality;
* the protection and enhancement of our landscapes,
* wildlife and habitats;
* more efficient handling of resources and waste,
* better management of surface, ground and waste water.

The creation of an Environment Bill was announced by the Prime Minister in July, and is intended to put environmental ambition and accountability at the heart of government, creating a new framework for environmental governance.

An independent body will provide scrutiny and advice, and hold government to account on development and implementation of environmental law and policy. The Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) will be a statutory environmental body that will be able to take legal action to enforce the implementation of environmental law where necessary, replacing the current oversight of the European Commission.

The draft Bill proposes making it a legal requirement for government to have a plan for improving the environment, to monitor and report annually to Parliament on progress and update it at least every 5 years. The 25 Year Environment Plan, published in January, will become the first such plan, giving it the status and permanence to deliver our ambitious goals.

Environment Secretary, Michael Gove said the clauses; “…set out how we will create a pioneering new system of green governance, placing our 25 Year Environment Plan on a statutory footing. We will explore options for strong targets to improve our environment, and provisions on air quality, waste and water resource management, and restoring nature.”
