England should give over 7% of land to nature and renewables to meet environmental targets, data shows

🤖AI Özeti

The UK government has unveiled its first land use framework, which outlines the necessity for approximately 7% of England's land to be dedicated to nature, forests, and renewable energy to achieve environmental targets. This area is about two-and-a-half times the size of Cornwall. The framework emphasizes the restoration of degraded peatland and promotes the multi-use of land, allowing for agricultural activities alongside renewable energy developments. Local authorities are encouraged to establish nature reserves in both urban and rural settings.
