Funding

The LUNZ Hub is funded for £6.25 million over 40 months, starting 13 November 2023.

The Hub is part of the Transforming Land Use for Net zero, Nature and People (LUNZ) programme co-funded by UKRI, the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (on behalf of England and Wales), the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs of Northern Ireland, and the Scottish Government.

The LUNZ Hub is supported by UKRI’s Building a Green Future Programme alongside three research councils:

• Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)
• Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)
• Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)

In addition, our project partners and team members have committed to over £1.7 million of in kind contributions through letters of support.
