AESME Lot 9: Assessment of the effectiveness of AES in reducing the climate vulnerability of SSSIs to climate change

Climate change is placing additional pressures on protected areas, leading to specific areas of vulnerability that are context and site specific. This project will review the existing approach to prioritising interventions; selection of options and use of prescriptions within Agri-environment schemes (AES) in relation to the management of protected areas to evaluate whether they are able to address the developing pressures that climate change poses.
