Building Digital UK - Environmental impact
What examples of environmental added value from other government funded infrastructure projects are there, either domestically or internationally? How could these help BDUK support government environmental goals, like those associated with tree planting and peatland restoration, alongside its primary target of fixed and mobile connectivity? How can we learn from these projects in terms of improving environmental reporting particularly regarding the supply chain for these projects?

Building Digital UK - Environmental impact
What are some of the emergent environmental and ecological benefits of fixed and 4G mobile connectivity? For example, could 4G mobile connectivity help rewilding and biodiversity projects by aiding in wildlife tracking? Could increased fixed connectivity support greater use of sensors with IOT, for example, to track water quality? How significant of an impact would this be?
