A series of UK-wide workshops were held with the policy and practice community (along with leading academic, business and third sector voices) to define future environmental evidence challenges in light of the UK leaving the EU. Sixty-five challenges were identified and NERC is now seeking the input of the wider environmental science community to:

• validate these challenges
• begin to outline broad areas of research and translation activities that have the potential to meet the required future evidence needs.

Your input will inform the scope of a proposal for a future large-scale transformative programme that will look to address priority future research and innovation needs.
