Horizon scanning: Land & Nature, July 2022
This is a briefing paper on environmental policy relating to land and systems linked to land, including land-based habitats and ecosystems. With a number of critical policy developments in environmental governance, punctuated by the Environment Act 2021, there are multiple opportunities for positive engagement.
The paper is intended for IES members to encourage awareness of relevant policy issues, support horizon scanning for environmental professionals, and identify opportunities to engage with decision makers and the public on emerging issues linked to land and the environmental sciences.
This briefing was published in July 2022 and has since been updated with all the latest developments in land and nature policy.
