Strategic activity - Reduce carbon emissions and maximise carbon storage from residents, businesses and visitors 19.56 Set a carbon budget for the National Park and apply carbon reduction targets 19.57 Gain expertise on climate change management 19.58 Help tourism businesses cut their carbon emissions through the user friendly information toolkit 19.59 Provide coordinated information to visitors on low-carbon holiday options 19.60 Establish an evidence base for carbon values of the natural environment 19.61 Protect and restore existing blanket bogs and mires Apply to participate in Local Carbon Frameworks, a government pilot which incorporates targets for carbon reduction, a strategy to achieve carbon reductions and delivery plan. Start leadership training on climate change to lead by example. One member from each Partnership organisation will be elected to form an expert group. Gaining environmental accreditation through schemes such as the Green Tourism Business Scheme or Cumbria Business Environment Network. Produce an online guide of actions which focus on interesting low carbon itineraries, green transport options, letting people know how they can make their visit as carbon neutral as possible. Establish baseline of carbon flows in the National Park, on land, woodlands, woodland soils and in the lakes. Use evidence to inform land management decisions by Partners and agri-environment and forestry schemes. Raising awareness of the issues and collection of data with the help of volunteers. Restore blanket bogs and mires storing carbon and improving biodiversity across the National Park, piloted through a CWT's wetland project commencing 2011. Examine the capacity and improve the effectiveness of peat bogs and drainage systems to slow water transit and assist with flood prevention. 2015 LDNPA All LDNPP partners, Defra 2010 LDNPA LDNPP, Business Taskforce 2010 Cumbria Tourism Small World Consulting, Carbon Trust 2011 Cumbria Tourism LDNPA, Nurture Lakeland, FoLD 2016 LDNPA Earthwatch, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, NE, EA, FC, FLD, CWT, RSPB, UU, NT, UofC, Impact 2014 CWT NT, NE, LDNPA, ACT Accepted as pilot for Government's Local Carbon Framework.

Action No. Action How Complete by Lead partner Other partners Milestones 20. Strategic activity - Coordinate projects on a landscape-scale, through valley planning, supporting adaptation to climate change 20.62 Adopt the Landscape Character Assessment as a Supplementary Planning Document 20.63 Agree a strategic framework for landscape-scale projects Take account of landscape character to guide development and land use change to protect areas of high sensitivity by recognising there are different distinctive areas in the Park Produce policies and high level objectives that will direct a prioritised approach to landscapescale management. To include - catchment scale management, valley management planning and river management. 20.64 Pilot a valley management plan Work with a local community to pilot a valleyscale planning approach, developing solutions to issues associated with land and water management 2012 LDNPA NE, NT, FC, EH, FLD Landscape Character Assessment adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document by 2012 2010 LDNPA NE, FC, UU, NT, RSPB, FLD, EA, CWT, CCC, CT, SLDC, CLA, NFU 2011 LDNPA NE, FC, NT, FLD, ACT, RSPB, CWT, EA, CLA, NFU LDNPP agree strategic framework for landscape-scale projects in December 2010. This framework should include prioritisation and resource allocation to successfully deliver landscape scale projects and initiatives. To include: • Windermere Catchment Restoration Programme • Bassenthwaite Lake Restoration Programme • Ullswater/Thirlmere SCAMP • Relevant actions from River basin Management Plans and the Water Framework Directive Use existing valley planning areas – Ullswater and Borrowdale – as test pilot areas. Develop Valley Land Use Plan in chosen location by 2011 20.65 Pilot an ecosystem services approach Use ecosystems and green infrastructure approaches to improve resilience of the natural environment, habitats and species and develop models of water management that involve local communities and agencies finding solutions together 2011 NE NT, EA, NE, WT, LDNPA, RSPB, FC, CWT, ACT, CCC, LDNPA Complete Bassenthwaite Vital Uplands pilot project by April 2011.
