Rural Proofing and Environmental Sustainability White Paper

We are seeking views on two related but distinct sets of proposals, including a statutory duty on rural proofing and a range of environmental sustainability proposals, that may be taken forward in primary legislation.

Proposals include:

• Rural Proofing
• Climate Change
• Forestry Act 1967
• Waste
• Biodiversity and resilience of ecosystems duty – Environment (Wales) Act 2016
• Power to modify specified regulations made under section 2(2) European Communities Act 1972
• Strengthening enforcement.
