Prepared every three years, the NSW State of the Environment (SoE) reports on the status of key environmental issues facing New South Wales.
As with all NSW SoE reporting, the 2018 report relies on extensive contributions from many NSW Government departments and agencies, as well as within the EPA. Data and information in the 2018 report was appraised and validated by NSW agencies through an extensive process of review. Independent experts also provided a range of perspectives, additions and helpful advice.
