Responding to the impacts of climate change on the natural environment: Cumbria High Fells (NE115)

https://publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/55001

Climate Change Vulnerability of the Natural Environment in North West England

While the reduction of greenhouse gases is essential, some impacts of climate change are now unavoidable. The natural environment is consequently changing, this is not something that can be solved in the short term and much of the change is locked in due to historic and potential future emissions of carbon dioxide. Without allowing areas capacity to change, we put at risk our rich heritage of landscapes, wildlife and access to them and the services that they provide.

Initially a pilot project was developed in 2007 to looked at four specific National Character Areas in England, including Cumbria High Fells, that represent contrasting habitats and landscapes that are likely to be affected by climate change.

North West Landscape Framework – Climate Change Assessment – 2010/11

Many of the Landscape Character Framework types lie within the NCA study areas. It is possible to unpick the relevant parts, and bring them into this format in a different structure, so giving results across a wider geographical spread.

The data set developed here also considers and suggests more targeted adaptation actions using the framework of each NW Character Type to allow better decisions and more refined actions.
