Water How can we manage the land to provide benefits to society and minimise harm to the aquatic ecosystem? 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
Land use How to optimize the deployment of different nature-based solutions to realise their various benefits and avoid negative outcomes (for example some tree planting on peatland)? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Achieving Net Zero What are the impacts of greenhouse gas removals and negative emission technologies on climate and the environment? What are the trade-offs of negative emissions techniques and other interventions? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Achieving Net Zero Can other land-based approaches to greenhouse gas removal, such as enhanced weathering and biochar, help achieve net zero without negative environmental impacts? 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

Achieving Net Zero How can the UK optimise sustainable growth of biomass for use in power generation (bioenergy) and, with appropriate storage, for removal of atmospheric CO2? How can the negative environmental consequences from biomass production and use (on soil quality, water quality, air quality, and biodiversity) be minimised? What’s the full life cycle analysis for different feedstock? What’s the scalability of different feedstocks within sustainable limits? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Achieving Net Zero What is the GHG emissions reductions potential from different land-based interventions per unit area per year, how will natural carbon sources and sinks evolve in the future, and what are their timeframes for delivery from implementation? For example, what levels of emissions reductions can be achieved by actions within the new Environmental Land Management Scheme’s outcomes framework, and from forestry, and over what time frames are these delivered? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Areas of interest in adaptation: How will the changing climate affect the persistence and movement of chemical contaminants in the environment? 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
