This publication covers the Environment Agency鈥檚 response to the consultation.

The Environment Agency welcomes the government鈥檚 ambition for a more resilient natural environment as part of its commitment to leave the environment in a better state. We support the intent to improve nature鈥檚 protection and enhancement and to better enable its recovery. Nature recovery is central to the EA鈥檚 ambition to create better places.
