Abstract

Rural regions in the UK, including National Parks, currently experience structural injustices such as non-inclusive recreational opportunities and unequal access and representation for some groups (Auld, 2021; NatureScot, 2018; NatureScot 2021). Rural regions face further injustices that will be created or aggravated by climate change, and yet they tend to be overlooked in net zero policies compared to urban areas (Rural England, 2021; Wilson, 2021). For a 'just transition' to a fair and sustainable future for all, net zero policies and decisions must address these issues.
