The Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) at the Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Enterprise are inviting the public and interested stakeholders to provide their feedback on the draft National Strategy for the Environment 2050.
The National Strategy for the Environment (NSE) will strive to achieve a healthy environment for the next generation and contribute towards a sustainable future.
The NSE, which is mandated by Article 45 of the Environment Protection Act (Cap. 549), translates the previously published Wellbeing First Vision for 2050 into a strategic policy direction by setting out long-term Strategic Goals and Objectives. The NSE has been built on eight Strategic Goals, which address:
- Clean Air
- Quality Neighbourhood
- Thriving Biodiversity
- Zero Waste
- Resilient Land Resources
- Flourishing Seas
- Sustainable Water Resources
- Enabling Change
The following consultation questions are being provided to guide the consultation:
- Do you think that the proposed Strategic Goals and Objectives adequately provide the environmental direction which is required in the coming 30 years?
- What strategic actions, besides those already mentioned under the respective Strategic Objectives, do you feel should be included?
- Action Plans will be developed to turn the Strategy into reality, each covering roughly a 10-year period until 2050. What actions should the first NSE Action Plan prioritise till 2030?
The submission for feedback should be sent to nse@era.org.mt by 21 October 2022. More information can be found on ERA's .
