The revised edition of ISO 14001:2026 has been released. The standard includes some variations following the latest update in environmental management.
https://www.iso.org/standard/14001
All organizations that subscribe to this standard are given liberty to align their operations with the standard requirements within 3 years.
However, auditors might start auditing you base on the revised standard before this 3 years to see your level of understanding and compliance. This audit might carry minor Non Conformities (NCs) report in other to strengthen the organisation adherence to the standard.
I will advise that organisations source for the materials to see the major changes and start implementing those changes as soon as possibl.
