Thriving plants and wildlife. 4. A reduced risk of harm from environmental hazards such as flooding and drought. 5. Using resources from nature more sustainably and efficiently. 6. Enhanced beauty, heritage and engagement with the natural environment. In addition, it aims to manage pressures on the environment by: 7. Mitigating and adapting to climate change. 8. Minimising waste. 9. Managing exposure to chemicals. 10. Enhancing biosecurity. Since the publication of the 25YEP, the Secretary of State, Michael Gove, has announced a range of policy commitments, such as the development of an Agriculture Bill, the publication of a Fisheries White paper, consultation on an Environmental Principles and Governance Bill, the presentation of an Ivory Bill to Parliament, a ban on microbeads, and the publication of a Clean Air Strategy.
