Greener, better, faster executive summary

This executive summary of CPRE’s 2020 plan, launched as the government starts to build back from coronavirus, summarises our recommendations for the ways that the countryside can help tackle climate change while being good for people, nature and the economy.

We know that reducing emissions isn’t the only goal – we need climate action that works for rural communities and wildlife. The countryside can address the climate emergency in ways that support biodiversity, benefits people and makes our landscapes more beautiful. Greener, better, faster shares our vision for what can come next.
