Energy decarbonisation pathways that minimise harmful impacts on nature

Cumulus assisted Economic Consulting Associates Limited (ECA), who provide economic and regulatory consulting services for the utilities industries, on this assignment to analyse how different, viable decarbonisation pathways may impose different impacts on biodiversity in the terrestrial and marine environment in the UK. The project sought to understand where trade-offs are present, what potential there is for mitigating and minimising negative impacts, and what complementarities may be considered.
