Shared Ground: A Vision for the Land Use Framework

 

  • This briefing from the Aldersgate Group sets out a vision for the UK’s upcoming Land Use Framework that would ensure it supports the delivery of societal, economic, climate, and environmental goals.   
  • The publication finds that the effective use of data and supporting multiple land uses on farmland is critical to success. It highlights that with the right reporting, monitoring, and strong demand signals, the Framework can drive much-needed investment in land use change and nature restoration across the country, and strengthen climate resilience. 
  • It calls for the Framework to align with the government’s planning reforms and with key strategies such as the Environmental Improvement Plan, the Farming Roadmap, and Strategic Spatial Energy Plan, to ensure consistency across the policy landscape.
