Description

The Environment Bill will make it mandatory for new development to achieve at least a 10% net gain for biodiversity - a requirement that habitats for wildlife must be left in a measurably better state than before the development.
The aim of this market analysis study is to identify influencing factors on and model the demand, supply and price of biodiversity units within the habitat provision market under mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG).
The study has four main objectives, which are described below:
- To develop an understanding on how the habitat provision market will respond and evolve under mandatory BNG policy in England.
- To estimate the demand for biodiversity credit delivery by government acting as a provider of last resort.
- To provide evidence of market prices and how they vary to inform the credit price review.
- To inform the development of the mechanism to dispose of government biodiversity credit liability.
This opportunity is advertised by DgC on behalf of Core Defra.
