<p>Environmental management and conservation is a key component of the Strategic Growth Plan for Montserrat. As part of that plan, DFID has helped the Government of Montserrat create an appropriate legal and institutional framework for environmental management. The Conservation and Environmental Management Bill has been finalised for submission to Montserrat's Cabinet and Legislative Assembly in October 2013. DFID will provide further technical support for work on environmental and climate change management under this framework if necessary.</p>
