Notice Title
Supporting the Development of the Decision-Making Thresholds 2050
Notice Description
This project expands on previous work that developed the Decision-Making Thresholds (DMT) to 2030, that was published in 2021. The DMT is an evidence-based approach for determining when a proposal and the emissions it gives rise to are considered "nugatory" in the context of ecological risk assessment. They inform a range of uses from decision making about new or existing proposals to broader policy development and focussing effort to address air pollution effects on ecosystems.
