Biodiversity Net Gain – What You Need To Know

Summary

In the session, three experts will look at the importance of biodiversity net gain. It’s all the rage at the moment, with the law changing a few months ago to make it compulsory on many developments.

But…

• What is it?
• How does it affect you?
• Do you have to comply and what if you can’t comply?
• Is there greenwashing to be found?

We’ll have a look at these questions and more when we’re joined by some of the country’s leading experts in the subject.

Members: gain 3 CIOB CPD points when you reflect on the ethical aspects of your learning from this activity.
