From today, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) has become mandatory in England, meaning that development sites must deliver at least a 10% increase in biodiversity. This approach aims to leave biodiversity in a measurably better state than before, by creating new habitats and improving existing ones. 🌱 Whether you’re involved with planning, or carrying out the habitat surveys, our upcoming courses can support you through these changes. Our online courses delve into the new legislation, and we also have opportunities for ecologists to improve botanical identification skills, which are key for the required surveys. 🌾 For more information visit our website, and contact us directly if you need group or bespoke training.👇 Website: field-studies-council.org/bi… Contact us: [email protected] #BNG #BiodiversityNetGet #StatutoryMetric #Biodiversity #BNGTraining

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is now live. 🏡 We worked with @DefraGovUK to advise on policy and helped design a tool that enables developers to calculate their requirements. Learn more about this boost for #NatureRecovery at naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2…

We've now reached our target to generate 50 per cent of our own energy from renewable sources. This follows an ambitious scheme set up in 2013 to grow our own energy supply and reduce our use of fossil fuels. From mountain hydros in the fast-flowing streams of the Lake District and Eryri (Snowdonia), to biomass boilers and heat pumps that help preserve rare objects, and much more in-between, we've installed 138 renewable energy projects in nine years. In total, they generate 24 million kilowatt hours of energy each year, enough to power more than 8,400 homes. The next phase of the programme will further reduce fossil fuels at 100 of the highest emitting buildings we look after. Learn more today. bit.ly/48HHmnp

The UK Government has announced a new approach to reaching Net Zero. The CCC has issued its response.
“The Government not only has a legal obligation to meet its Net Zero 2050 target. It also has a commitment to hit the interim emission reduction targets it has put into law. “The Climate Change Committee has an obligation to assess progress towards those targets. In June, we said in our Progress Report that we were less confident in the Government’s ability to deliver its 2030 and 2035 commitments than we were a year previously. “We need go away and do the calculations, but today’s announcement is likely to take the UK further away from being able to meet its legal commitments. This, coupled with the recent unsuccessful offshore wind auction, gives us concern. “More action is needed and we await the Government’s new plan for meeting their targets and look forward to receiving their response to our Progress Report, expected at the end of October.” Professor Piers Forster, Chair of the Climate Change Committee

We're deeply concerned about reports this morning of moves to water down key green policies around Net Zero and the impact these short-term decisions will have on future generations. When it comes to tackling the climate and nature crisis, we need urgent action now. #SaveOurWildIsles
