A critical assessment of the coherence of the draft Environment Strategy Northern Ireland (NI), and relevant supporting strategies was commissioned.
Assessing the coherence of the key visions, objectives, and actions of the policies independently and in consultation with stakeholders helped identified ways to improve coherence between the Northern Ireland’s draft Environment Strategy, Future Agricultural Policy Proposals, Peatland Strategy, and Energy Strategy. The aim was to highlight where synergies lied and could be enhanced, how trade-offs could be avoided and cost effectiveness could be increased.
