Analysis of pathways to maximise emissions reduction in the agriculture and land use sectors beyond 2050

Land excluding built-up areas (referred to here as ‘non-developed land’, which include agricultural land, woodlands and semi-natural habitats) is an important and finite resource. It provides a wide range of sometimes competing goods and services such as food, water, wildlife habitats, carbon storage, flood attenuation and green spaces for recreational activities. We expect that the use and management of non-developed land will play a crucial role as part of a global and UK pathway to net zero emissions in the second half of the century given its current uniqueness amongst all sectors to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and the possibility of combining it with technologies such as c…
