Hmmm.....new #CBDCoP15 #Target7 sets a 50% nutrient #pollution reduction by 2030; whereas @DefraGovUK
#EnvironmentAct proposed legally binding target for agricultural pollution is 40% cut by 2038. Trying to calibrate relative claims of 'ambition', 'leading' etc!

"The Conservatives promised that the Environment Act would deliver the most ambitious environmental programme of any country on Earth, but they have failed to do the bare minimum. They missed the legal deadline to introduce environmental targets, and it looks increasingly unlikely that they will meet their promised 30 by 30 deadline; a monumental dereliction of duty"
