The government published a policy paper this week outlining its integrated approach to climate change and biodiversity loss in England (and how it intends to deliver on key commitments under both areas).
With the UK having pledged to protect biodiversity areas amounting to at least 30% of the country’s land and sea areas by 2030 (the “30 by 30” target) under commitments agreed at the 15th UN Biodiversity Conference in 2022 (leading to the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework), demand for sophisticated nature monitoring solutions is set to surge.
Whilst £63bn was committed in capital funding for clean energy, climate and nature in the Spending Review 2025, the government is keen to stress that public money alone cannot achieve the scale and pace of change required and that sustained private sector investments are also needed. The real prize therefore lies in the emerging concept of nature markets, which represent a paradigm shift from compliance-driven sustainability to market-based conservation – with the potential to unlock finance for climate and nature action.
In this HotViewsExtra article we look at the frameworks and tools outlined in the report, plus recommendations for how suppliers can take advantage of the emerging nature capital market.
