The overwhelming scientific consensus is that the earth is warming because of human activities. Adaptation is necessary even if mitigation efforts are markedly increased. This report explores how institutions should adapt their policies to a changing climate and offers a check list to be followed by the organisations.

Expert Evidence In Criminal Proceedings In England And Wales: Law Commission Report #325

Legal Theory & Systems

In this report the Law Commission makes recommendations to replace the patchwork of existing legislation with a single statute. The new statute brings together the law governing the protection, control and management of wildlife to make it more consistent, easier to understand and simpler to use. Reflecting relevant EU directives and international conventions as well as national wildlife policy, the statute provides a regulatory framework organized around schedules listing protected and controlled species and prohibited conduct. The structure of this Report follows as closely as possible the structure of the Wildlife Bill, so as to make it easy to read alongside the draft clauses of the Bill: Prohibited conduct: core international and EU obligations; Prohibited conduct: protection of wild birds; Prohibited conduct: protection of wild animals; Prohibited conduct: protection of wild plants; Permitted activity: licensing and defences; Poaching: substantive prohibitions; Control of non-native species, pests and weeds; Criminal liability, enforcement and sanctions.

The unfitness to plead project looks at how defendants who lack sufficient ability to participate meaningfully in trial should be dealt with in the criminal courts. Defendants may be unfit to plead for a variety of reasons, including difficulties resulting from mental illness (longstanding or temporary), learning disability, developmental disorder or delay, a communication impairment or some other cause or combination of causes. The purpose of the legal test is to identify, accurately and efficiently, those vulnerable defendants who, as a result of such difficulties, cannot fairly be tried. The related procedures then provide for an alternative process by which criminal allegations can be scrutinised and arrangements made, where appropriate, to provide treatment for the defendant and protection for the public. The aim of the law in this area is to balance the rights of the vulnerable defendant who cannot fairly be tried with the interests of those affected by the alleged offence and the need to protect the public. The Commission was unable to work further on the project between January 2011 and early 2013 and during that period there were significant changes to the criminal justice system. In particular, there has been a very substantial reduction in the budget available for the administration of the criminal courts. However, there have also been significant advances in the way that the criminal justice system responds to vulnerable individuals. Additionally, the Government has made a commitment to a national model for liaison and diversion services. This aims to place mental health and learning disability professionals in police stations and all courts, to assist in the identification and onward referral of vulnerable offenders

Europe faces an increasingly unstable and dangerous neighbourhood. The continuing war in Syria, a humanitarian crisis in the region and the weakening of state structures have created a combustible environment, which has contributed to the refugee and migration crisis and the rise of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Meanwhile, the conflict in eastern Ukraine appears to have become frozen, and relations with Russia are dominated by sanctions. In such a moment of uncertainty and upheaval, the discipline of developing a new strategy is welcome. First and foremost, a new EU foreign and security strategy must be underpinned by the recognition that the driving force in foreign policy is the Member States: it must provide the overarching framework for how Member States can act more collectively, and offer them the political framework to act within and through the EU. A new strategy for the EU must undertake a forthright process of prioritisation.

The built environment affects us all. The planning, design, management and maintenance of the built environment has a long-term impact upon people and communities. It is widely acknowledged that the quality of life, prosperity, health and wellbeing of an individual is heavily influenced by the 'place' in which they live or work. Policy towards the built environment in England is not the sole preserve of any one Government department; this both accounts for the diverse range of elements which comprise the 'built environment', and reflects the diverse range of impacts which it has upon people and communities. There is an urgent need to co-ordinate and reconcile policy across numerous different areas and priorities. Recently, however, one priority has become dominant in debates concerning built environment policy. Increasing the overall supply of housing, and the speed at which housing is delivered, is a central part of the Government's policy agenda.

From the archives, the official report into the loss of the Titanic has been reprinted to mark the 100th anniversary of its sinking on 15 April 1912. The official report includes a description of the ship, the journey and conditions which led up to the collision, a description of the damage, an account of the saving and rescuing of survivors, and recommendations from the Wreck Commissioner. Reprinted exactly as it was in 1912, this official report offers an incredible insight into the circumstances surrounding the sinking of the Titanic - as investigated by the Wreck Commissioner at the time.
