The blog has been very successful since its launch in late April 2021, both in terms of the nature of the contributions but also the reach of the blog – for example, it has been cited in a debate in the House of Lords.
 
Posts have covered a wide range of topics in the environmental field, from recent case law on climate change and rights to the role of mediation in statutory nuisance claims as well as the finer details of the enactment and implementation of the Environment Act 2021 and the new Office for Environmental Protection. Posts vary in length but aim to provide a succinct and clear summary of the subject matter of the post as well as an analysis of its relevance for practitioners.
 
Posts are published on a roughly weekly basis. You can subscribe to the blog here and follow it on Twitter and LinkedIn. We also welcome guest contributions, please contact us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
