About the Organisation

Northern Ireland Environment Link (NIEL) is the networking and forum body for non-statutory organisations concerned with the natural and built environment of Northern Ireland. Its membership brings together extensive knowledge, expertise and experience to help shape policy, practice and implementation across a wide range of environmental issues.

NIEL’s work also extends across the island of Ireland, where it collaborates with partners including the Irish Environmental Network to address shared environmental challenges and support stronger cooperation, dialogue and evidence-led policy development.

About the Project

The Collaborative Horizons for All-island Nature and Governance Enhancement (CHANGE) project is a cross-border initiative designed to strengthen environmental governance and cooperation in response to increasing regulatory divergence and shared ecological challenges in a post-Brexit context.

Delivered in partnership by Northern Ireland Environment Link and the Irish Environmental Network, the project supports collaboration, evidence-led policy development and capacity-building among environmental organisations, public bodies and communities across Northern Ireland and Ireland.

A key component of the project involves the detailed mapping and analysis of regulatory divergence across climate action, biodiversity protection, marine conservation and freshwater management. Through consultation, research and practical collaboration, the project will help develop stronger frameworks for cross-border environmental consultation and cooperation.
