Activity: Other activity types › Public engagement and outreach - media article or participation

Description

Many environmental matters fall within the remit of the devolved administrations, so that determining what is to be done about the functions currently undertaken at EU level when the UK withdraws is not a question for DEFRA alone.

The devolved administrations have to examine their own areas of responsibility and see what has to be replaced and how. A major contribution to this process has now been made in Scotland where the Scottish Government has published a report on Environmental Governance in Scotland on the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.
