Unlock Net Zero Live Stage

Protecting biodiversity and preserving habitats for wildlife in our homes and places aids the recovery of nature and improves the well-being of those in our communities.

In November 2023, biodiversity net gain requirements are coming into effective to ensure all new developments are rich in nature. This session will enhance your understanding of your responsibility for biodiversity on new housing developments.

Wider challenges will be addressed including funding for biodiversity projects, incorporating biodiversity into grounds maintenance contracts, and engaging communities with their natural surroundings for health and climate benefits.
