The impact publication describes how NERC-funded environmental data delivers benefits to national and regional governments, businesses, communities and critical national infrastructure, including:

  • reducing the costs, risks and environmental impacts of housebuilding and infrastructure development
  • enabling the UK to be a world leader in offshore wind energy while protecting key marine species and habitats
  • increasing resilience to natural hazards, which cost the country billions of pounds each year
  • driving international climate action and the UK’s journey to net zero
