Day 5. 2 Biodiversity Net Gain – The Next Steps
Summary
Biodiversity Net Gain is transforming how we design and build development, with the UK’s Good Practice Principles providing an approach to generate meaningful benefits for biodiversity. But while we are making progress towards this goal, the importance of nature for people’s wellbeing is a vital consideration. Policies should enable BNG to benefit people, and ensure that detrimental social impacts from BNG are addressed. However, social impacts of BNG can only be properly considered within the holistic context of wellbeing. But is BNG and wellbeing a Win-Win? Or would trade-offs lessen the biodiversity ambition and necessitate keeping these policy goals separate?
