Yes, and it is a moderate move. A policy manager already covers 68% of what an environmental protection manager is expected to do: 27 skills carry over, 22 of which the environmental protection manager role treats as required.

4 required skills are missing, plus 20 optional ones. They fall into 10 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is provide training in sustainable tourism development and management.

Its learning distance is 41.2 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
