The Climate Change Committee has published cutting-edge research led by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) that investigated options for sustainable land management to help meet national net zero targets, as well as the potential impacts.

The Climate Change Committee has published cutting-edge research led by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) that investigated options for sustainable land management to help meet national net zero targets, as well as the potential impacts.

Our work for the UK’s independent climate advisers will inform actions by land managers and policies by the UK Government and the Devolved administrations.

The first UKCEH-led report published on 21 May contains our modelling and analysis on how ambitious land-based mitigation actions could cut greenhouse gas emissions from UK land by 2050 while increasing timber and biomass fuel production. This findings were incorporated within the Climate Change Committee’s Seventh Carbon Budget, published in February, which presented a path to decarbonisation in the UK.
