Conservation groups warn Northern Ireland's environmental law could face its biggest change in a generation if the EU-derived legislation is scrapped
The organisations say hundreds of pieces of EU environment legislation currently in place in Northern Ireland could endNorthern Ireland's environmental law could face its biggest change in a generation unless Stormont acts, conservation groups have warned.Retained EU Law BillThe bill would remove the majority of EU-derived law kept post-Brexit, unless "saved" by ministers until 2026.
It is estimated at least 570 pieces of environmental legislation are affected, along with others relating to health, education and business. "The unnecessary risk of losing hundreds of essential standards and regulations is made all the more acute by the ongoing lack of functioning political institutions in Northern Ireland," it said.
"This bill and the work it will necessitate poses a very real risk to other departmental work, including the resource needed to develop climate action plans."
