Highlights the importance of land management when addressing climate change and flooding. Argues that further investment is needed in order to gain these major benefits from land. Investment by the water industry is capable of improving water quality at source, reducing the need for expensive water treatment. More of the government's flood budget should be spent on making room for water rather than simply providing flood defences. Financial incentives are recommended to provide investment in land based carbon and reduce losses from soil. More investment in outdoor exercise is also recommended.
