A new report has raised concerns that the UK is lagging behind the European Union in the implementation of new environmental rules and standards since its departure from the bloc.
The analysis points to a 'post-Brexit rollback' of regulations and a slower pace of adopting new measures, particularly in areas like clean air and pesticides.
The findings are a blow to the government's promise to maintain and even exceed EU environmental standards after leaving the European Union.
The report warns that this divergence could have significant consequences for the UK's environment and could also create new trade barriers with the EU, which has strict standards for products entering its market.
The situation highlights the complexities and challenges of post-Brexit policy-making and the tension between regulatory alignment and the desire for legislative autonomy.
The findings will likely fuel the debate over the UK's environmental policy and the need for a clear and robust framework to protect the environment and maintain its reputation on the global stage.
