Biodiversity is key in enriching new developments in our towns and cities. With the adoption of NPF4 in February 2023, it is no surprise that the Scottish Government placed a greater emphasis on delivering biodiversity enhancement as part of its commitment to tackle the climate emergency. https://hubs.ly/Q02BnBwL0

Aldersgate Group
In advance of #COP16, Aldersgate Group members Lloyds Banking Group and RSPB published a report on nature-based solutions (NbS). This paper highlights eight ongoing NbS initiatives for water management across the UK, demonstrating how the integration of nature into land management and urban infrastructure can enhance biodiversity and support broader climate change adaptation efforts. The report also outlines key steps needed to scale up the implementation of NbS in agricultural and urban settings. These steps include providing financial incentives for investment, introducing stronger regulations to promote NbS adoption in both new and existing developments, and enhancing the skills, knowledge, and awareness of property owners and developers. You can access the full report here: https://lnkd.in/ehjsn8sK

Adler & Allan
In our latest case study, we take a closer look at how we’re supporting the Carbon Neutral Islands (CNI) project – a Scottish Government programme aimed at supporting six identified islands to become carbon neutral by 2040. Adler and Allan were commissioned to conduct research into where blue carbon habitats may be. These are defined as areas where carbon may be captured and stored in marine and coastal ecosystems through natural processes over long timescales. Understanding the carbon storage of marine environments can help to inform marine policy and spatial planning, to prevent damage to these valuable habitats. Preserving and enhancing these habitats will encourage the sustainable use of marine spaces, protect vulnerable species, and help islands on the road to Net-Zero.
