We hope this approach supports more transparent, flexible, and evidence-based planning for land, climate, and biodiversity goals.

Ambitious onshore renewable energy deployment does not exacerbate future UK land-use challenges
Transitioning to renewable energy can help address climate change. The UK is relying
on wind and solar power deployment, raising questions around land-use competition,
for instance, with food producti...

Spatially targeted nature-based solutions can mitigate climate change and nature loss but require a systems approach
Halting climate change requires net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to at least fall
to zero. UK land (including agriculture, forestry, and peatlands) is currently a net
emitter of GHGs. Reducing these...

🔍 Key findings:
• Many different routes can deliver net zero
• Some pathways are clearly more efficient - better outcomes with fewer trade-offs
• The scale of decision-making (UK-wide vs devolved nations) affects not just efficiency, but equity too
• Many different routes can deliver net zero
• Some pathways are clearly more efficient - better outcomes with fewer trade-offs
• The scale of decision-making (UK-wide vs devolved nations) affects not just efficiency, but equity too

We generated 10,000 random UK land use pathways - each combining different quantities and combinations of eight climate mitigation measures.
The aim? To identify which combinations perform best across climate, food, and biodiversity outcomes.
