The role of civil society’ Monday 23rd June 11-12.
You are invited to a webinar/information session on Monitoring post-Brexit environmental divergence on the island of Ireland: The role of civil society’, Monday 23rd June 11-12.
The IEN, Northern Ireland Environmental Link and the Environmental Justice Network Ireland are publishing this latest report from the Linking the Irish Environment project.
Recent studies have clearly articulated that a key threat posed by Brexit for environmental governance on the island of Ireland is divergence in environmental regulation. This divergence can occur across a range of axes such as legal rules or technical divergence on paper, implementation divergence in practice, policy divergence, social divergence resulting in different outcomes, and political divergence affecting the willingness of political actors to act to remedy the different forms of divergence. This webinar will explore the findings of a new report ‘Monitoring post-Brexit environmental divergence on the island of Ireland: The role of civil society‘ followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session with the authors Dr Ciara Brennan, Alison Hough BL and Dr Lisa Claire Whitten.
To accompany the main report, we’ve also produced an FAQs document available now – this is designed to demystify the complex legal and political developments which have occurred post Brexit which are relevant to all-island/cross-border cooperation on the environment on the island of Ireland.
