🌿 Biodiversity Net Gain and climate resilience🌍

BNG isn’t just about enhancing biodiversity, it’s also a powerful tool for climate resilience. By integrating nature-based solutions into developments, we can help mitigate climate risks while boosting ecosystems.

💧Reducing flood risk

Wetlands, woodlands, and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) slow water flow, reducing flood risks and improving water quality.

🆒Cooling our cities

Green spaces, tree planting, and green roofs help lower urban temperatures, reducing the impact of heatwaves.

🌿Carbon sequestration

Well-managed habitats such as peatlands, grasslands, and forests, absorb and store carbon, supporting the UK’s net-zero goals.

💨Protecting Against Extreme Weather

Stronger, healthier ecosystems make landscapes more resilient to storms, droughts, and erosion.

BNG isn’t just a biodiversity requirement, it’s an investment in climate adaptation and long-term environmental resilience.
