The British government on Friday announced a set of new legally-binding environmental targets to protect air quality, green spaces and to clean up rivers.
"These targets are ambitious and will be challenging to achieve – but they will drive our efforts to restore our natural environment, protect our much-loved landscapes and green spaces and marine environment," environment minister Thérèse Coffey said in a statement first delivered at a U.N. biodiversity conference in Montreal.
The announcement said an Environmental Improvement Plan would be published in January setting out in detail how it would meet the new targets.- Halt the decline in species populations by 2030, and then increase populations by at least 10% to exceed current levels by 2042 - Restore precious water bodies to their natural state by cracking down on harmful pollution from sewers and abandoned mines and improving water usage in households
- Deliver net zero ambitions and boost nature recovery by increasing tree and woodland cover to 16.5% of total land area in England by 2050- Cut exposure to the most harmful air pollutant to human health - PM2.5 - Restore 70% of designated features in our Marine Protected Areas to a favourable condition by 2042, with the rest in a recovering condition.
