Re-evaluating the sensitivity of habitats to climate change

This Natural England funded project took place over three months in early 2022, and enabled Chris Short and Dr Phil Staddon to produce a rigorous assessment of the sensitivity of habitats in Britain to climate change. The assessment will be based on consultations with habitat and climate change experts.

Flourishing Floodplains: Regenerative Farming

Working alongside the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust, this project explores farming on floodplains and seeks to make recommendations on how farmers can transition to more agroecological farming methods.

Farmer engagement with landscape decision models  

This project project focuses on farmers and farm advisors as key, yet often under researched, actors in the context of efforts to implement landscape solutions to the climate and biodiversity emergencies.

Co-designing long-term agreements for landscape recovery 

Researchers at the CCRI have explored the potential of long-term agreements (30 years+) for achieving landscape recovery in lowland productive areas, including how a funding approach which blends both public and private funding may work.
