Leo Mercer and Ruth Gregg, Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy & Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, November 2023
This report synthesises the current policy, technical considerations and debate pertaining to rewilding in the UK, with a focus on what contribution, if any, rewilded land can make to supporting the decarbonisation of land use. The provision of other environmental, biodiversity and social benefits across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is also considered.
