LUC's Jo Wotton to speak at the Onshore Wind Conference 2025
LUC's Jo Wotton, Associate Director in Environmental Planning, will speak on 16 September at the Scottish Renewables Onshore Wind Conference 2025, co-organised with RenewableUK.
Held at the EICC in Edinburgh, the two-day conference brings together policymakers, developers and industry experts to explore how onshore wind can continue to deliver for both climate and nature, while addressing challenges in grid, planning and a rapidly evolving policy landscape.
Jo will contribute to the session "The climate and nature crises – how onshore wind is ticking all the boxes", which will examine the sector’s role in addressing the twin challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss.
The session will cover:
- How the policy landscape for Environmental Impact Assessments and Environmental Outcome Reports is changing across the UK
- Shifting biodiversity and peatland restoration requirements, and the implications for developers
- Expert perspectives on natural heritage protection and what this means for meeting onshore wind targets
LUC is proud to be part of this important discussion, reaffirming our commitment to supporting the transition to a clean energy future through evidence-based, sustainable planning.
