    Brief

    This project will develop comprehensive evidence syntheses across six key research areas identified by JNCC: biodiversity monitoring technologies, environmental change modelling, marine food system sustainability, agricultural policy impacts, market-based conservation funding, and conservation outcomes. For each research area, the project will identify priority research questions, assess emerging technologies and data approaches, clarify interdisciplinary capability needs, highlight policy-relevant evidence gaps, and establish coordinated research networks for future delivery. The work will be delivered over two financial years (2026/2027 and 2027/2028), producing six detailed evidence synthesis reports, six policy briefings with presentations, and a cross-cutting recommendations report. The project aims to provide government and JNCC with robust, forward-looking evidence to support biodiversity commitments, environmental targets, and food security objectives while demonstrating a model for rapid, coordinated cross-institutional research on strategic environmental challenges.
