#Thread - Agriculture and forestry may be small sectors of the UK economy but they have an important role in delivering the UK’s Net Zero target. #NetZero will not be met without changes in how we use our land. (1/11)
The CCC’s previous work has shown it is possible to reduce land-based emissions of greenhouse gases while contributing to other strategic priorities for land such as climate change adaptation, food production and biodiversity. (2/11)
There is an urgent need for a new approach to land use UK-wide and the legislative opportunities for real change are here. Taking action now will create net benefits for the UK and ensure our land is more resilient to the changing climate. (3/11)
