Achieving Net Zero How can we predict the potential impacts of a changing climate on actions and strategies to mitigate climate change (for example how will future climate change impact the delivery of carbon sequestration by different habitats)? What tools are available to allow for effective planning of climate change mitigation strategies that are resilient to a changing climate? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Achieving Net Zero How can the UK develop measurement of carbon fluxes from different habitats and farming systems which are in different conditions and using different management approaches? This is especially relevant for peatland and coastal habitats Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

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

Achieving Net Zero How can the UK protect and increase its standing stock of organic carbon: trees, peat, soil, and salt marshes? How can these habitats most efficiently be distributed spatially given limited land and other needs (for example urban space, food production, recreation)? How can increases in carbon stocks be achieved while maximising co-benefits such as biodiversity, clean water, and nutrient balance? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Areas of interest in adaptation: How do climate risks interact with socio-economic factors and vulnerabilities? Where do inequalities lie, and how can access to adaptive benefits be maximised for the most socially vulnerable/disadvantaged in society? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Areas of interest in adaptation: How do we better consider and adapt to the effects of climate change at regional and local levels, to develop a better understanding of conflicting demands? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

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

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

Areas of interest in adaptation: How can we address barriers to action on adaptation, including behavioural change, and how can government policy best encourage these changes? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
