Day 4. 3 Natural Capital in Practice
Summary
The concept of natural capital is becoming increasingly embedded into national environmental and planning policies. In particular, the forthcoming requirement to deliver biodiversity net gain and the wider ambition of environmental net gain. But what does this mean for landscape practitioners in their day-to-day work? This session introduces these concepts and demonstrates how natural capital approaches can work in practice. Case studies will be used to illustrate how natural capital and ecosystem services can be assessed and valued for proposed developments. You will understand natural capital and ecosystem services and how to apply them to your area. Understand what is meant by biodiversity net gain and environmental net gain and how they can be measured.
