Resources

The APSRG facilitates effective, productive communication and exchange between Parliament, Government and resource management stakeholders and raises awareness of sustainable resource issues within Parliament.

 

In addition to our parliamentary events, we produce detailed briefings on major government policy developments and manage a programme of focused research projects to investigate key policy-issues for sustainable resource management in the UK and propose innovative potential solutions to government. 
 

Members can access our library of briefings, bulletins and event materials online.

Policy Research

The APSRG has recently conducted an inquiry into the financing of waste infrastructure,  Rubbish to Resource: Financing New Waste Infrastructure, examining the challenges and barriers to financing new waste infrastructure, and how best to overcome the risk associated with lending, specifically in the waste market. The project identified policy measures that could be implemented, as well as possible fiscal, regulatory and legislative incentives that could be used to secure investment in waste infrastructure.

The report was launched in September 2011 by Jamie Reed MP, Shadow Minister for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

In February 2010, the APSRG launched Waste Management Infrastructure: Incentivising Community Buy-In focused on overcoming the planning barriers at the level of local communities to the development of new infrastructure.

The report highlights distinct and innovative incentive structures that could be utilised at the strategic planning level to give local communities a genuine stake in the development of infrastructure and realise tangible benefits as a product of this process, turning planning into a ‘win-win proposition’.

The report was launched in the House of Commons by Dan Norris MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
