Abstract

Landscapes are an integral part of the net-zero challenge; not only are they carbon
stores but they constitute the environments upon which humans develop their livelihoods,
interact and shape their cultures.
This report focuses on three key landscape types (agricultural, peatlands and forests), and
the associated practices and impacts with particular relevance to the net zero carbon
agenda.
We have brought together perspectives from natural and social science, humanities, and the
arts to understand and evaluate how modern landscapes can absorb the impact of potential
zero-carbon policies.
