IPT Event | Renewable Energy & Biodiversity: Striking a Balance for Sustainable Development
2024-11-25 19:00 - 21:15 UTC | Westminster Hall
The UK is undertaking a rapid transition to renewable energy with targets of transitioning to an electricity system with 100% zero-carbon generation by 2035.
However, the expanding land use requirements for renewable energy sources present a potential conflict with local ecosystems. Biodiversity loss is one of the biggest threats facing human and planetary health, and according to Natural England, the UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world.
This event will:

Consider how the green energy transition can address both climate change and biodiversity loss.
Examine what planning safeguards and impact assessments are needed to protect local ecosystems.
Discuss how research and development can accelerate the action needed to protect nature.
