Summary

The mandatory BNG Metric was brought in as a way of creating and improving habitats, but where are we now and how should we proceed?

Watch this diverse panel share their experiences and open-up a fascinating discussion that will inform the LI’s actions and future plans around BNG.

The UK’s devolved nations have their own strategies for tackling the biodiversity emergency, with countries outside the UK either doing the same, or looking to us. What can we learn from each other, what can we do better, and what resources are there?
