At this stage in the development of the Environment Strategy, we will develop and consult on an Environmental Assessment, to describe and test the effect of the vision and outcomes on the environment, through the influence on other strategies and in the development of outcome pathways. We shall also carry out other Impact Assessments of the Strategy.
