Revenues for Nature Guidebook Series: Biodiversity Net Gain

Resource Summary

This guidebook provides an analysis of England's Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) model, detailing its development, implementation, and early performance. Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a policy in England that requires major and small developers to deliver a 10% gain in biodiversity. This guidebook can help policymakers, corporates, and investors interested in replicating or adapting the BNG model to mobilise private sector capital into nature restoration and conservation. It details the functioning, challenges and opportunities of BNG in mobilising private sector financing to generate nature-positive outcomes. It also identifies what it considers to be the necessary policy requirements for the rolling out of BNG in various contexts. It is part of the "Revenues for Nature" (R4N) Guidebook Series, which supports the achievement of global biodiversity targets by sharing effective models for nature-based revenue generation.
