Have your say on land use in south of Scotland
Meeting on Wednesday 2 November, 6pm – 8pm at the Volunteer Hall in Duns
The South of Scotland has been chosen by the Scottish Government as one of five Regional Land Use Partnership (RLUP) pilots, to help develop Scotland’s approach to land use in support of our green recovery, the Just Transition to net-zero, and to address the climate change and biodiversity emergencies.
This event will give individuals, communities, land managers, businesses and social enterprises in the South of Scotland a chance to help further identify current issues and opportunities that relate to land-use, nature and the fair transition to net zero in South Scotland.
This phase of the project builds upon an earlier stage of stakeholder engagement and seeks to hear more from local stakeholders about land use issues and opportunities. This will help to identify and agree current and potential land use change priorities across the region. Such change is needed to support the delivery of climate change targets and other environmental objectives, including improving biodiversity. It will use a natural capital approach (viewing land as an asset that delivers multiple benefits).
We are keen that we account for the diversity of distinctive landscapes and land uses in our region and we aim to ensure that communities, the land use sector and public bodies are all engaged in the process.
Come and share your views! Everyone’s welcome.
