It's great to be recognised as a leading innovator in net zero. Our work on self-learning digital twins for sustainable land management is at the forefront of applications of AI. And through my work as co-lead of the Land Use for Net Zero, Nature and People (LUNZ) Hub, I am working closely on the translation of research evidence into policy. We need innovative solutions quickly to respond to the threat of climate change.
