Spatial relationships matter
Flooding is a significant global risk that is being exacerbated by land use change and climate change. Natural Flood Management (NFM) is a group of practices that can help mitigate flood risk by slowing the flow, decreasing runoff rates, and storing water, and it can be effective at a variety of scales. NFM implementation is inherently spatial, as it requires upscaling as well as overcoming upstream-downstream spatial disconnections. However, exi…
Natural capital approaches to decision-making for collaborative landscape governance
This study explores if and how natural capital approaches can support collaborative landscape governance. We selected six initiatives across the UK that have taken varied approaches to working with natural capital. We assessed how they have articulated, described and valued their landscapes and natural systems, and the consequences of doing so. We found that processes of systematically describing natural assets and their benefits can stimulate lo…
The limitations and risks of land use change tools in decision-making
Land use change is needed to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss and is increasingly incentivised through natural capital approaches that reward delivery of ecosystem services including carbon sequestration and biodiversity. A proliferation of land use change decision-support tools are developed –often by private companies– to support land use change decision-making and measure success of government policy and private investment targets…
Regional scale integrated land use planning to meet multiple objectives
Pressure is increasing globally to deliver integrated land use at large spatial scales (10–100 s km2) to address the climate and biodiversity emergencies through delivery of nature-based solutions. There is also pressure to decentralise land use decision-making to sub-national levels of government and multi-stakeholder partnerships, with the aim of improving policy targeting, coordination and participation. Whilst there has been significant resea…
