A lot of departments and agencies may be sharing various responsibilities, and perhaps one of the departments should take charge of the matter as part of a cooperative effort. The problem has to be addressed; someone has to accept responsibility and take appropriate action. But it's like this was no one's fault and no one was responsible. A lot of research is being done, which is all well and good, but, at some point, we have to get results.
A department has to take charge of this matter and introduce environmental, climate change or transport measures. It's possible to work in a collegial manner, not in isolation.
