Nature and Climate
This Cross-party group's purpose:
2. The CPG Nature & Climate will be unpacking the twin crises of nature loss and climate change, and creating a cross-party and cross-stakeholder collaborative space to explore both challenges and solutions to these interlinked issues.
3. There are no other CPGs with an overlapping purpose, although we suspect CPG Food, CPG Animal Welfare, and CPG on Sustainable Upland Management may bring forward topics of interest to CPG Nature & Climate. We will be keeping a close eye on these CPGs to ensure that we use our space to elevate any debate on overlapping issues of interest through the lens of nature loss and climate change.
4. Topics: Marine Environment, Natural Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture, Blue Carbon, Farming, Agriculture, Forestry, National Parks, Carbon Credits, Biodiversity Strategy, Peatland Restoration, Land Reform.
