Our Policy Direction is now out Journal of Applied Ecology. Our take on how public policies can support solar farms deliver climate and ecological benefits to make the low-carbon energy transition work for people and the planet. 👇📃! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Solar farms can deliver for climate and nature if well-managed, and if suitable policies that integrate climate and biodiversity targets are in place to deliver green energy alongside nature recovery 🌱 See the Policy Direction paper here: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Nature can thrive on solar farms if managed well. And there is a chance to make this happen across the UK, providing the Government joins up its climate and biodiversity policies, says a new paper led and co-authored by researchers at Lancaster 👇 lancaster.ac.uk/news/scientist…
