ARI 15 Interactions of climate change, including policies, mitigation and adaptation, with other factors and drivers, such as: material flows; pollution; nutrient management; biodiversity; the creation and restoration of habitats and soils; achievement of terrestrial, freshwater and marine environmental targets; and land-use management and planning policy.
Background
Within the question group Environmental Outcomes and System Change, we use a range of data, analysis and expert judgment to make an annual assessment of progress towards government environmental targets in England and Northern Ireland. Planning regulations and reforms can affect the achievement of environmental targets on land and at sea; our research supports our understanding of their impacts. We also aim to increase our understanding of how the implementation and reform of environmental law and system-wide approaches, including those aimed at addressing climate change, can contribute to achieving goals and targets.
We aim to improve our understanding of governance mechanisms and how they interact with other systems through which environmental objectives are delivered (e.g. policy-making processes, regulation, funding, infrastructure and land-use planning).
