‘Love our bogs’: UK should harness all its landscapes in fight for climate – report

First complete assessment of how UK nature-based solutions can combat the climate and biodiversity crises released ahead of crucial environment summits

Regenerating native woodland, restoring grassland and rewetting peatland must be priorities when tackling the two defining crises of our age", according to the first complete assessment of how UK nature-based solutions can combat the climate and biodiversity crises.

More than 100 ecologists examined how all kinds of landscapes - from urban to agricultural to coastal - could be enhanced to maximise carbon retention, biodiversity and human wellbeing. These nature-based solutions (NbS) must be implemented at scale to reap benefits, according to the 190-page peer-reviewed report, published by the British Ecological Society.
