Legislative Scans
Our annual legislative scan looks to the year ahead and previews forthcoming legislation and expected policy developments that are likely to have consequences for the environment and ecologists.
What We Do…
We consider global developments, issues in the European Union, and those in both the UK and its constituent countries. The annual scan is co-ordinated by a team led by our Past President, Bill Sutherland.
