Scotland’s 2021-2026 Land Use Strategy sets out a long-term vision for land management. This incorporates a series of nature-based solutions, including afforestation and peatland restoration, to help Scotland achieve a 31% reduction in agricultural emissions by 2032 from 2018 levels. In the light of recent changes to Scotland’s climate action targets, this session will ask what progress that has been made in sustainable land management. It will also explore how Scotland is delivering on place-based adaptation such as crop varieties management, land use change and innovative breeding.
