N2 - Many aspects of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union remain to be put fully into effect or even finally determined. • International agreements, including the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement limit how far the UK has a free hand in deciding its way ahead. • New arrangements for environmental governance have been made in the different parts of the UK, covering the role of environmental principles and new environmental ‘watchdogs’. • The devolved nature of many environmental responsibilities can lead to regulatory divergence across the UK, with the means of dealing with this themselves creating tensions. • The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill raises significant concerns over the uncertainty created, the challenge posed by its tight timescale, and the wide powers conferred on ministers.
