It is essential to have short, mid and long term targets. In fact, that is what the Commissioner of environment said in her report last September. We absolutely need to have short term targets in order to keep this issue at the top of the list of the government priorities. We need not only short term commitments, but also short term targets. Any business that wants to make changes sets goals and targets. The national government should do the same.
