There is no further reference anywhere in the 18 pages of Bill text to the environment or nature, and no reference to climate change or net zero. Taking into account the core duty set out in section 1(1) of the Bill (“A public body must, in the exercise of its functions, have due regard for the need to promote wellbeing and sustainable development.”) it appears that the fundamental purpose of the Bill is to require public bodies to take account of the social and cultural rights of people when they take their decisions, and to take account of these in both the short and long term.
