Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2015
UK | Active Under Review
The Regulations seek to ensure action is taken to put damage right rather than to penalise those responsible. They are based on the ̳polluter pays principle‘ requiring those responsible to meet the cost of preventive and remedial measures. For the damage to species and habitats and damage to water covered, the Regulations introduce a new approach to remediating damage. They require that, in addition to any measures taken to return the environment to the condition it was in before the damage occurred, measures should also be taken to make amends for where the damaged environment does not completely recover, and for the loss of environmental resources and environmental services pending recovery.
