Landscape, sustainability and skills solutions should be included in policy agendas ahead of the General Election this summer, says the Landscape Institute.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced yesterday that the election will be taking place on 4 July. The Landscape Institute’s president-elect, Carolin Göhler, says this comes at a time when “the UK faces multiple, interrelated crises, from climate and nature emergencies, to public health and wellbeing, to housing.”

She adds that the next government has a “vital opportunity” to address these issues, calling for “policy agendas across the political spectrum that promote integrated landscape, sustainability and skills solutions to tackle the challenges we face.”

The Landscape Institute will be publishing its recommendations for the next UK government.
