Call the COPs, the countdown to BNG, and DEFRA's smoke and mirrors air policy

Eco Chamber

What could a re-vamped civil sanction scheme mean for waste water companies? Why has a suite of new draft net gain texts left campaigners worried about the future of the policy’s delivery next month? And the government has ignored official advice when scrapping key air quality regulations, why? Listen to the latest episode of the Eco Chamber podcast to find out.

Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories, as well as taking a forensic look at one of the deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.

In this week's episode we're covering:

• The updated civil sanction system dished out for environmental crimes and environmental permits.
• The draft biodiversity net gain text, which could introduce a new biodiversity gain hierarchy that campaigners say weakens the policy’s delivery.
• And the new minister for animal health and welfare at DEFRA that has raised eyebrows with his links to the game shooting fraternity.

Finally, for this week’s deep dive, we’ll be discussing ENDS’ investigatory revelations that the government ignored official advice when scrapping key air quality regulations.
