  • A pragmatic framework for local operationalisation of national-level biodiversity impact mitigation commitments

    Open AccessThomas B Atkins, Natalie Duffus et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2025References: 2

    Countries around the world are attempting to navigate complex trade-offs between biodiversity and other land use objectives such as infrastructure expansion, with many adopting “net outcomes” policies that aim to ensure economic development leaves biodiversity better off than before. The implementation of net outcomes policies often occurs on a project-by-project basis, which can lead to implementation missing opportunities for integrated thinkin…

  • Biodiversity offsets perform poorly for both people and nature, but better approaches are available

    Open AccessMattia Mancini, Mattia C Mancini et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Sustainability requires that we restore biodiversity and wider ecosystem services, yet developments such as new housing inevitably cause environmental impacts. Accordingly, developers are increasingly required to resource offset projects, delivering biodiversity or wider environmental net gains. However, analyses of offsets in England show that the large majority are conducted within development sites rather than targeted toward better opportunit…

    Open AccessSophus zu Ermgassen, Sophus O S E zu Ermgassen et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2022Cited by: 5References: 10

    Secure housing is core to the Sustainable Development Goals and a fundamental human right. However, potential conflicts between housing and sustainability objectives remain under-researched. We explore the impact of current English government housing policy, and alternative housing strategies, on national carbon and biodiversity goals. Using material flow and land use change/biodiversity models, we estimate from 2022 to 2050 under current policy …
