Implications of Brexit for environmental assessment in the United Kingdom – results from a 1-day workshop at the University of Liverpool (original) (raw)

Brexit poses significant challenges and uncertainties for environmental assessment (EA) in the United Kingdom, particularly in the wake of potential regulatory changes post-EU exit. A 1-day workshop convened experts to explore the implications of Brexit for EA, focusing on the effectiveness and future of environmental impact assessment (EIA) and strategic environmental assessment (SEA) practices. Key discussions included the potential weakening of existing environmental standards, regional disparities in impacts, and the necessity for improved communication of EA successes to influence policy decisions favorably.
