It's Adaptation and Agriculture day at COP27, and world leaders will be discussing how farmers can survive as the climate changes around them, and how they can contribute to reducing emissions. We hear from delegates.
National parks warn they’re being forced to consider job cuts, selling off land and closing visitor centres to try to save money. The budget for England's 10 National Parks has been frozen - which in real terms, taking into account inflation - represents what National Parks England describes as 'a significant cut' of £15.7 million over the next three years.
And the President of the National Farmers Union, Minette Batters, says British farmers will produce less food next year because of the rising cost of inputs from fuel to fertiliser.
