Innovate and advance our learning

Our Strategic Priority: Innovate and advance our learning on nature recovery.

We will: Continue to innovate and advance our learning on nature recovery so that science, technology and new digital knowledge are applied to drive positive environmental outcomes.

Our role in realising success:

• JNCC evolves its rich evidence base by continuously investigating emerging technologies for monitoring and harnessing the power of technologies to reduce costs and increase scope of monitoring.
• JNCC builds relationships with research institutions enabling assimilation of new concepts, methods and tools.
• JNCC embraces new methods to problem solving, noting the interlinkages across terrestrial and marine systems, while taking a inter-disciplinary approach to developing solutions.
• JNCC works on transboundary issues where conservation measures applied on a local/national scale can be transferred to multiple countries.
• JNCC assesses the impact of policy implementation on biodiversity.

What wider success looks like in 2030: The UK invests in and uses novel technology and techniques to survey species and habitats and assess change of species groups and ecosystems across land and sea. We have greater ability to detect local-scale change in biodiversity (and ecosystem services). The UK learns from innovative Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and conservation techniques applied abroad to solve domestic challenges.
