The aim of this Open University workshop will be to invite senior and informed speakers and participants to debate how we can optimise land use in floodplains to deliver nature based solutions to flood risk and diffuse pollution, the loss of biodiversity and human health crises.
The session is an opportunity to tease out how to improve policies affecting land-use on floodplains, notably the new Environmental Land Management scheme (ELMs), catchment management plans, flooding action plans, Biodiversity Net Gain and the Nature Recovery Network, to ensure they are grounded with supporting research and current good practice. Further details of the agenda and joining instructions will be available soon.
