WORKING GROUP MEETING: WORK-STREAM ONE
DR ANNA RATHE CENTRE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS AND FUTURES
Horizon scanning newsletters, partnershipPublished April 2013, July 2013 and ongoing
Impact and knowledge exchange• Disseminated to over 400 people per quarter• External parties interested in our horizon scanning approach include:
-UK College of Policing -English Heritage -Clinical Triage North Yorkshire -Science and Technology Facilities Council
Ad Hoc workshop: The noise environment in the UK to 2060, DefraReport discussing how the noise environment might change over the next 50 using the outputs of a custom designed workshop
Impact and knowledge exchange• Used by Defra to assess effectiveness of policy interventions and identify areas for future
focus• Summary presentation with key findings to aid knowledge exchange
OUTPUTS, IMPACT AND KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE 6
AKF 2012, partnershipCompleted in April 2013 and now signed off. 2013 edition now underway
Impact and knowledge exchange• Central to Working Group discussions to identify areas for future research• Formed the basis of the NE Futures Exchange• Used to inform evidence priorities at the Defra evidence investment strategy workshop • Workshops to use the AKF being organised with EA, Wales, CAMERAs
Using Social Media & Gaming to Value Cultural Ecosystem Services, NEA bespoke scan on how technologies may help us understand how people use and value cultural services provided by the natural environment
Impact and knowledge exchange• Will inform Natural England’s ecosystem approach and
climate change programme • Summary presentation with key findings to aid knowledge
exchange
OUTPUTS, IMPACT AND KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE 7
Online survey for preliminary data collection (October)Participants will rank trends (as identified by CERF) and identify links between them
Development of cross-cutting issues (October-November)Cross-cutting issues will be identified by CERF using the links identified in the survey
Cross-cutting issues workshop (November 14th)Groups will discuss the risks and opportunities cross-cutting issues present to organisations in the Defra network
Outputs (March 2014)• A report detailing trends and cross-cutting issues• A network diagram showing links between
trends to aid strategic organisational discussion

OUTPUTS, IMPACT AND KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE
Our scenarios:• assess vulnerabilities within complex
systems to safeguard against uncertainty
• increase communication and knowledge exchange between and across organisations
• draw insights from stakeholders to help make future challenges and opportunities more clear and compelling to decision-makers
