Illegal waste activity in England- new evidence
A new report published on 22 July 2021 outlines the scale of illegal waste activity in England. The report “An independent Study into Fly-tipping and Unregistered Waste Carriers in England” was carried out by Air & Space Evidence and EPR, and commissioned by Material Focus, the not-for-profit behind the Recycle Your Electricals campaign. I was one of a number of reviewers taken from academia, the waste industry and former Government and regulatory officials.
Great to present a first Training Workshop on this for Prospect Law on 16 July 2021. It covered –
Climate science
Key provisions of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change
Countries’ NDC commitments
The Green Recovery
The Energy Transition
COP26 itself
Changing frameworks of financial regulation
New laws, regulation, financing
Recent climate litigation; and
The impact of each of these on business.
