Oil based cover crops for aviation fuel in Scotland - question and answer report

The Scottish Government is committed to tackling climate change with an ambitious target of 2045 for Scotland to reach net zero emissions for all greenhouse gases. As part of this transition new uses need to be found for sites such as the Grangemouth refinery to secure a just transition for the local and wider Scottish population. Project Willow: Grangemouth investment opportunities has identified a set of preferred projects including a proposed biorefinery project for aviation fuel. The aviation sector is currently a significan

Sorry, this event has already happened. Have a look at our upcoming events.

Atlantic oak woodland functional biodiversity and restoration of PAWS

Scottish Atlantic oak woods or temperate rainforest are rare and threatened habitats that support a vast array of biodiversity, particularly lichens and bryophytes. Much of this unique habitat was converted to conifer plantations (known as Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites – PAWS) last century for commercial timber production. Many PAWS are undergoing restoration in attempts to reinstate the former structure and functional diversity of the oakwoods.

Nature Based Solutions Costs of Action and Inaction Final - Report

Human-induced climate change is driving increasingly severe weather in the UK, threatening the long-term viability of Scotland’s land-based industries. To remain resilient and competitive, these sectors must urgently adopt climate adaptation and mitigation strategies, including Nature-based Solutions (NbS), which are central to emerging policy and funding frameworks.

Ecosystems and Landuse Policy Group (ELPEG) Bulletin – May 2025

Welcome to this, our seventh ELPEG bulletin of the 2022-2027 RESAS Strategic Research Programme. The aim of this bulletin is to provide policy makers with updates on the research on biodiversity that is happening within the strategic research programme. The bulletin covers work from Topic D4 (Biodiversity) and the biodiversity elements within the air pollution Topic (D1).

Bridging the Gaps: Source-to-Sea Research for Scotland’s Environmental Future

We explored how source-to-sea (S2S) thinking can strengthen research collaborations and innovation across Scotland. The S2S approach focuses on the interconnections between land, freshwater, and marine systems—helping inform cross-sector decision-making, address environmental trade-offs, and promote joined-up action on environmental and societal challenges.

Fellowship to Map the Evidence Base on the Costs of Action and Inaction in a Changing Climate - Report

This report investigates the state of knowledge on the relationship between NbS and the productive land use sectors of agriculture and forestry in Scotland.

Mapping of UK seafood supply reveals mismatch between production and consumption, and large nutrient losses through exports.

Transforming our diets to build a more sustainable food system is paramount to achieving net zero. Here, we provide a high-resolution perspective on United Kingdom (UK) seafood supplies and nutrient flows at species level. We mapped seafood production (capture and aquaculture), trade (imports and exports), purchases (within and out-of-home), and seafood consumption, between 2009 and 2020.
