¹ Responsible management in this context is management activity that does not seek to re-establish peat habitats, but which significantly reduces the impact of using peatland for that purpose. It is for situations where full restoration is not feasible. The term needs further definition and will be land use specific. In lowland agricultural peatlands this is likely to involve changed water management and has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the loss of soil, whilst offering farmers the opportunity to innovate and explore new markets. 2 Peatland restoration should be regarded as a process and not as a one-off restoration event. Peatland sites that have been subject to restoration activity should not immediately be described as restored (or in good hydrological condition). The restoration process will have been started, but the natural system will take time to recover and achieve restored status. In the meantime, these peatlands can be described as being under restoration management as long as ongoing management practices are sympathetic to the restoration end goal and allow the site to continue on its restoration trajectory. set a target for peatland restoration as part of the forthcoming Net Zero Strategy, recognising the important role that peat plays in the pathway to net zero emissions. How we will achieve this

Detecting and attributing temperature increases driven by climate change is crucial for understanding global warming and informing adaptation strategies. However, distinguishing human-induced climate signals from natural variability remains challenging for traditional detection and attribution (D&A) methods, which rely on identifying specific "fingerprints"-spatial patterns expected to emerge from external forcings such as greenhouse gas emissions. Deep learning offers promise in discerning these complex patterns within expansive spatial datasets, yet the lack of standardized protocols has hindered consistent comparisons across studies. To address this gap, we introduce ClimDetect, a standardized dataset comprising 1.17M daily climate snapshots paired with target climate change indicator variables. The dataset is curated from both CMIP6 climate model simulations and real-world observationassimilated reanalysis datasets (ERA5, JRA-3Q, and MERRA-2), and is designed to enhance model accuracy in detecting climate change signals. ClimDetect integrates various input and target variables used in previous research, ensuring comparability and consistency across studies. We also explore the application of vision transformers (ViT) to climate data-a novel approach that, to our knowledge, has not been attempted before for climate change detection tasks. Our open-access data serve as a benchmark for advancing climate science by enabling end-to-end model development and evaluation. ClimDetect is publicly accessible via Hugging Face dataset repository at: Climate change, particularly the increase in global temperature in response to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century.

Current gas prices spikes underline the need to get off hydrocarbons as quickly as possible, but we will manage the transition in a way that protects jobs and investment, uses existing infrastructure, maintains security of supply, and minimises environmental impacts.
This Order extends and amends the scope of the Land Registry Trading Fund Order 1993, which established the Land Registry Trading Fund. The funded operations are extended by adding a new provision for services relating to the registration of local land charges. The provision of services in wider markets relating to registration of title to land and to the management and marketing of property information is amended by replacing it with a provision for consultancy or advisory services, information services, and services relating to documents or registers, about or relating to land or other property.
Measures in the field are as follows: .. Devising a path to reach a 15% share of renewable energy sources in the sustainable use of final energy, broken down into individual energy types, namely: electricity, heat, cold and renewable energy in transport;. Retaining the obligation to gradually increase the share of bio-components in transport fuels so as to meet the planned objectives;. Retaining support mechanisms for producers of electricity from renewable sources, e.g. by means of a system of certificates of origin; Introducing additional support instruments encouraging more extensive production of heat and cold from renewable energy sources; Implementing the directions of building agricultural biogas plants, on the assumption that at least one biogas plant is set up in each commune by 2020;. Creating conditions to facilitate making investment decisions on building off-shore wind farms;. Retaining the principle of exempting energy from renewable sources from excise tax; Direct support to building new renewable energy generation units and power grids that could be connected with the use of European funds and environmental protection funds, including funds gathered in the form of the substitute fee and fines;   Stimulating the development of the Polish industry's which manufactures machinery for the renewable energy sector, also with the use of European funds;. Supporting the development of technologies and building installations to obtain renewable energy from waste comprised of biodegradable materials (e.g. municipal waste with biodegradable fractions);  Evaluation of plausibility of using the existing damming structures owned by the State Treasury to generate power by way of taking their inventory, establishing their framework environmental impact, and devising the rules of making them available. Apart from the above measures, the implementation of the Long-term Programme for Promotion of Biofuels or Other Renewable Fuels in Transport for the years 2008-2014, adopted by the Council of Ministers on 24 July 2007, will be continued.
The National Planning Policy Framework sets out planning policies designed to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development in a wide range of sectors, ranging from land use to communications, from 2021 to 2030.Section 17 of the Framework covers the sustainable use of minerals, seeking to ensure the supply of minerals, secure their long-term conservation and promote sustainable development practices. This includes indicating that planning policies should:It also mentions that minerals planning authorities should plan for a steady and adequate supply of industrial minerals by encouraging cooperation with other countries. The Framework further indicates the use of stockpiling of minerals to ensure the stability of the supply, and outlines the need for assessments to better plan for future mineral use in the industry.
Programmes of measures To ensure that the 2030 targets are achieved, in 2018 the Climate Action Plan 2050 will be underpinned with a programme of measures having quantifiable effects on reductions. The environmental, social and economic impacts of each programme of measures will be assessed. This means that the update of the Climate Action Plan will be followed by a revision of each applicable programme of measures. The latter will underpin each upcoming reduction step and mile- stone with specific measures, where possible quantified in terms of their impact on emissions reduction. The programmes of measures will be developed in consult- ation with the Bundestag (lower house of parliament).

Box 1: Key achievements of the current energy and climate policy framework The Union has set itself three targets to be attained by 2020 for greenhouse gas emissions reductions (20%), the share of renewable energy (20%) and improvements in energy efficiency (20%). Current energy and climate policies are delivering substantial progress towards these 20/20/20 targets: Greenhouse gas emissions in 2012 decreased by 18% relative to emissions in 1990 and are expected to reduce further to levels 24% and 32% lower than in 1990 by 2020 and 2030 respectively on the basis of current policies. The share of renewable energy has increased to 13% in 2012 as a proportion of final energy consumed and is expected to rise further to 21% in 2020 and 24% in 2030. The EU had installed about 44% of the world's renewable electricity (excluding hydro) at the end of 2012. The energy intensity of the EU economy has reduced by 24% between 1995 and 2011 whilst the improvement by industry was about 30%. The carbon intensity of the EU economy fell by 28% between 1995 and 2010.
