Following the publication of the Environmental Standards Scotland (ESS) Strategy on 1 December 2023, the Scottish Government has gathered evidence on the effectiveness of environmental governance.
The evidence gathered has helped to inform the Report into the Effectiveness of Governance Arrangements, as required by section 41 of the UK Withdrawal from the European Union (Continuity) (Scotland) Act 2021.
The content of this consultation is closely aligned with that of the report, therefore the consultation is seeking views on the three key matters listed in section 41 (2) of the Continuity Act, including:
The Scottish Government is committed to ensuring that there is effective environmental governance arrangements post-Brexit. Your views are crucial to informing the Scottish Government on how environmental governance has performed following the exit from the European Union, access to justice on environmental matters and whether an environmental court can enhance governance.
