Environment news

The environment sector

Environmental standards have been developed to address a range of environmental management issues and to outline a minimum level of environmental protection. The documents are wide ranging covering everything from use of land, water quality, and noise pollution. They have been developed in partnership with organisations such as ERMA, EECA, and the Ministry for the Environment.
