ARI 14 The implementation and effectiveness of government guidance on biodiversity for local authorities.
Background
Within the question group Nature and Ecological Resilience, we aim to increase our understanding of pathways to achieve targets and commitments to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity on land, within soil and freshwater, and at sea, including understanding drivers, pressures, ecological resilience, and the effectiveness and implementation of environmental law. Pressures of interest to us include fisheries, development for energy production and other purposes, and pollution.
