Article summary

The Chair of the Office for Environmental Protection (OEP), Dame Glenys Stacey, has spoken at the Westminster Forum on Wednesday, 7 September 2022, to express the importance of not losing sight of the environmental crisis being faced when pressure arises elsewhere and to discuss the current priorities for the OEP. The message being portrayed to government is the need to turn ambition and words into implementation. Stacey said that the OEP will continue to make the case for transparency, evidence and accountability while supporting the government with its ambitions of protecting, restoring and enhancing our environment. Stacey also discussed themes of independence and transparency when talking about the OEP’s wider strategy and enforcement policy.
