What are Nature Based Solutions?
Nature-based solutions address societal challenges by restoring and managing ecosystems to benefit both people and the environment. For businesses, adopting nature-based solutions into their value chain is urgent for tackling climate change, nature loss, and water management and security, and for staying ahead in an evolving policy landscape. These solutions are not only sustainable but also cost-effective, offering long-term financial benefits by reducing risks and enhancing resilience.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a planning approach to new development that aims to leave nature in a measurably better state than it was found, resulting in a net gain for biodiversity.
Yorkshire Wildlife Trusts’ approach to BNG is characterised by seeking the best, additional gains for nature, participation of local communities, and desirable developments to live and work.
