Independent Environmental Protection Agency
That this Assembly recognises that we face a climate and ecological crisis and that Northern Ireland's unique natural environment is under significant threat; calls on the Executive to deliver on an existing and outstanding New Decade, New Approach commitment to have an independent Environmental Protection Agency in Northern Ireland; and further calls on the Executive to address gaps in our environmental governance and enforcement, exposed by our departure from the European Union, which present serious consequences for our already critically damaged ecosystems.
