IoM joining British-Irish politicians to safeguard 'natural wealth'

Mon, 30 Nov 2015

The British-Irish Council will work together to help safeguard our 'natural wealth'.

Chief Minister Allan Bell and the Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister headed a delegation to the BIC Summit in London last week - which focussed on sustainable natural capital resources.

Natural capital refers to creating a long-term, sustainable supply of goods through agriculture.

A collaborative approach was agreed upon to protect habitats and sea stocks - and to reduce Co2 emissions.
