By Pip Roddis, Policy Officer.

If any of you have been following RSPB’s blogs over the past few months (for example, see here and here), you will know that we’ve been undertaking a major piece of research on renewable energy and the potential risks for wildlife in the UK’s low carbon transition. We’re very pleased to say that we will be publishing our research next week in a report called ‘The RSPB’s 2050 Energy Vision: Meeting the UK’s climate targets in harmony with nature’.

We don’t want to give too much away before the big day (Tuesday 24th May), but look out for the report on Twitter using #power4nature. We will be putting forward a positive vision for the UK’s energy future, and we hope that this will act as a catalyst for a debate about how the UK can deliver its important 2050 climate change targets securely, affordably and in harmony with nature.

We look forward to sharing more with you next week.

Matt Williams, Assistant Warden, RSPB Snape.
