Description: JNCC is a public body that advises the UK Government and devolved administrations on UK-wide and international nature conservation. Our work involves improving understanding of the impacts of climate change, both on biodiversity and the benefits and services it provides. We undertake analyses and evaluations to identify and test approaches to adapting to, and mitigating, climate change impacts, and the costs and benefits of such actions. JNCC’s work includes: - Evaluating the benefits of biodiversity for mitigating climate change. - Advising on Nature-based Solutions to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change - Applying earth observation expertise to inform decisions affecting the environment, including assessing habitat condition, and providing facilities to support the 'big data'’ analysis needed to detect change - Assessing the economic and social value of the terrestrial and marine natural environment, and identifying priority natural capital assets and metrics - Developing scientific knowledge to understand the impact of climate change on vulnerable ecosystems - Informing policy development by understanding the consequences of climate change on biodiversity - Collaborating and guide future research to address knowledge gaps and safeguard biodiversity. More broadly, JNCC provides scientific and technical advice to the UK Government, its Devolved Administrations and the UK country nature conservation bodies on UK-wide and international nature conservation, including the interpretation, application and implementation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements.
