Brexit involves a break from the environmental regulation regime of the EU, including the oversight by the European Commission. A large proportion of existing environmental law and policy in the UK derives from the EU, with its implementation largely monitored and enforced by EU institutions such as the European Commission.

The Environment Act 2021 introduces a new regime of environmental principles and governance to fulfil the role that will be lost upon Brexit.

The Act creates a new regime of environmental policy for the UK, together with a new system of targets, monitoring and reporting on issues such as air quality, water, waste and biodiversity. It also creates an entirely new body – the Office for Environmental Protection – with wide-ranging enforcement powers, and a new form of litigation: environmental review.
In addition, the Act extends and develops environmental law sectorally in a number of significant ways, including by on waste collection, biodiversity net gain, conservation covenants and due diligence on forest risk commodities.
This new book will provide a practitioners’ guide to the implementation of the Act including related legislation and regulations made under it.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.

The author team are from Francis Taylor Building (FTB) who are well-known for the environmental law practice, plus a contribution from Professor Maria Lee who is Professor of Environmental Law at UCL and a member of the FTB Academic Panel. Prof Lee has written extensively about the Bill and issues related to it. She has written a number of books including EU Environmental Law, Governance and Decision-Making for Hart Publishing. From FTB we have Richard Honey KC and James Pereira KC, who are well known authors on Compulsory Purchase, and Conor Fagan, Merrow Golden and Ned Westaway, who are up and coming juniors in this area of law.
