<p>The Environmental Improvement Plan 2023 (EIP23) builds on the 25 Year Environment Plan published 5 years ago, by using the 10 goals set in the 25 Year Plan as the basis for EIP23. The overarching goal of EIP23 is to halt the decline in the UK’s biodiversity to achieve thriving plants and wildlife. EIP23 proposes measures to advance the UK’s progress towards achieving international biodiversity goals, as well as improving environmental quality and improving mitigation of climate change in the UK, specifically by publishing a Land Use Framework and publishing the third National Adaptation Programme in 2023. The Plan also proposes to reduce the risk of harm from environmental hazards exacerbated by climate change by delivering an investment plan to improve coastal and flood defences, including investing £100million on the most frequently flooded areas, amongst other measures.&nbsp;</p>
