Policy paper: 30by30 on land in England: Delivery plan

NW Coastal Forum

This paper explains how the government will deliver its commitment to protect 30% of land for nature in England by 2030.    It sets out how the Government will work with and support stakeholders and landowners to manage and protect their land for nature for the long term and contribute towards the Government’s 30by30 commitment.  It complements the vision and criteria for 30by30 on land which was published in 2024.

The plan sets out: 

  • a tiered approach for assessing areas of land to contribute to 30by30 
  • how the criteria will be applied in assessing land  
  • other actions to make it easier for landowners to help deliver 30by30 on the ground 
  • other actions the government is taking to strengthen efforts in delivering 30by30
