Ensuring an informed response What actions would most effectively and efficiently improve the status of the natural environment and secure economic, social, and health benefits domestically and globally? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Measuring change Global drivers of declines in nature are well documented but we need to understand how drivers interact in the UK and globally, as well as the global impacts of UK activities. We also need to understand how our actions to address declines (such as policy responses, intervention and environmental management) impact drivers Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Nature-based solutions How can local planning for nature-based solutions be best reconciled with regional and national strategies? What are the most effective ways to combine place-based participatory approaches with evidence and analysis of the likely effectiveness of nature-based solutions? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Nature-based solutions How can we effectively use nature on our land to help provide the services we need (carbon uptake, flood defence, resilience through biodiversity, clean air and water, recreation for public health and so on) and balance the provision of these services? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Nature-based solutions How do we maximise the various benefits of nature-based solutions, and address any trade-offs and associated risks, through our plans for nature recovery, afforestation, peatland restoration, natural flood management, and improved water quality? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Nature-based solutions How can we most effectively implement nature-based solutions, such as tree planting and peatland restoration, to address climate change, support progress to net zero carbon emission, reduce biodiversity loss and prevent poverty? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Land use What is needed to enhance or create natural areas to provide nature-based solutions? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Achieving Net Zero How can a more strategic approach to land use be developed through aligning climate change objectives (adaptation and mitigation) with objectives for biodiversity and ecosystem services? How can the environmental co-benefits of mitigation actions be identified and quantified? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Areas of interest in adaptation: What will be the ecological, economic, and social impacts of sea level rise? How effective are our current responses? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Areas of interest in adaptation: How will natural habitats and systems respond to accelerating rate of change, including woodlands, soils, freshwater ecosystems, and marine systems? What will be the implications of these responses on managing the risks and impacts of climate change, and what inevitable changes will we have to accept in our ecosystems? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Areas of interest in adaptation: Climate projections (for example UK Climate Projections 18) indicate increased climate variability and extreme events (storms, heat waves, drought) in the future. How will these changes impact natural and human systems? How can we protect against damage caused by such increased variability? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
