Agree with Guy it's a fine view. However is this optimum land use? It maybe. But then maybe not. Land needs to support food & wood production, plus carbon capture & biodiversity +recreation. Whose doing the sums? We have no UK land use strategy. @NEE_CCo @NE_Northumbria @NlandNP

@marju_silander @omakotiliitto @Hirsikoti @Sahateollisuus @RASI_yhdistys @PTTryfi This is a 2014 evaluation but little has changed since. Virtually all insulation materials used in Europe are manufactured directly or indirectly from fossil fuels. So while they do a green job they are not green materials. A shift to wood fibre is needed.

RT @andyheald: To tackle the climate crisis, we will need a lot more timber & fibre.
That will mainly come from plantation forestry. 🌲
To tackle the nature crises, we need a lot more natural woodland. 🌳
It isn’t a choice between the two. 🤷🏽♀️

Building more with wood, thereby replacing CO2 generating concrete & steel, is key to decarbonising the built environment.
But, are there enough trees?
'Yes', says the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research see: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-32244-w

Much talk, rightly, about better insulation BUT "Using insulation with particularly high material emissions may eliminate all potential GHG emissions savings from reduced operational efficiency."

Cement is such a problematic material re carbon emissions that one of the world’s biggest producers has dropped the word ‘cement’ from its name! @WaughThistleton @dRMMArchitects @ArchitectsCAN @TimberDevUK

@ImoSykes @MoreOurselves @guardian @helena_bennett_ Yes - BUT - 99% of insulation materials have an extremely high embodied carbon level ie their manufacture involves burning fossil fuels. Result, one third of climate benefit is lost. Wood fibre needed instead.
