LWEC

Living With Environmental Change (LWEC) is pleased to announce the publication of its Biodiversity Climate Change Impacts Report Card. The Report Card provides a comprehensive overview of what is happening now in the UK’s countryside, the extent to which climate change is contributing to those changes, and what we might expect to happen in the future.

This, together with a greater emphasis on the value of “natural capital”, calls for more systemic management of land and water, including natural solutions involving wetlands at the land/water interface.
