The draft Environment Strategy, which has been published by the Department of Agriculture, Environment & Rural Affairs (DAERA) on behalf of the Northern Ireland Executive, has been out for a period of consultation and closes today.

Key experts and organisations, including Ulster Wildlife, are sending a clear message that the ambition in the draft Strategy must be raised, with stronger targets needed. 

The signatories agree that the Executive must act with urgency and ambition to create a climate-safe, nature-rich, healthy world and that the strategy should recognise that the nature and climate emergency is one of the defining issues of our time and Northern Ireland is no exception.

The open letter was coordinated by RSPB NI. For more information visit the RSPB NI website
