Land use for net zero – funding opportunity

UKRI has announced a new funding opportunity to establish a coordination and translation hub for the transforming land use for net zero, nature and people programme.

The hub will convene a transdisciplinary, cross-sectoral community to support the UK in achieving net zero, while meeting other environmental and societal goals. It will advance research, integrate knowledge, identify routes to impact and fast track evidence into policy.

The full economic cost (FEC) of projects can be up to £7,800,000. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) will fund 80% of the FEC (up to £6,250,000).

Funding is available for up to 40 months, with a fixed start date of 1 November 2023.
