2 November 2020

Workshops for the “Net Zero with Nature” Climate Change Conference held in the Cairngorms National Park on 9 March 2020.

This document contains a summary of the Cairngorms Climate Conference workshop held on 9 March 2020, focusing on changes in land use to achieve "Net-Zero with Nature". The workshop, led by representatives from the Scottish Land Commission and the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority), involved 64 people discussing how to best influence land use to meet net-zero goals. Key discussion points included opportunities in land use to address climate change (like using the National Park as a carbon store), the Park Authority's role in achieving Scotland's national land use targets, challenges associated with land use change, and the actions needed to facilitate necessary changes. The main challenges identified were a lack of urgency, resistance to change, environmental factors, cultural concerns, lack of capacity, and the need for policy changes and government investment. Needed actions included building a sense of urgency, implementing new payment schemes, gaining stakeholder buy-in, providing information to all groups, and testing new approaches.
