第 1 單元：這不僅僅是一切照舊和更多的樹

In the first module of the Beyond Biodiversity Net Gain training series, we’re exploring a concept that’s creating ripples in the world of conservation and urban planning: biodiversity net gain.

• 生物多樣性淨增益的概念: Claire introduces us to the idea of biodiversity net gain (BNG), a pivotal strategy for ensuring that development projects in England contribute positively to the environment.

• 立法和政策: We discuss the recent inclusion of BNG in the Environment Act of 2021 and its implications for the Town and Country Planning Act, marking a significant shift towards mandatory environmental responsibility in construction.

• 超越合規性：生物多樣性淨收益不只是一個勾選框練習；它代表了環境、社會和經濟效益的和諧結合。我們將探討為什麼 BNG 對於 可持續發展.

• 衡量成功：我們的嘉賓分解了用於評估生物多樣性淨增益的基於指標的框架，解釋了緩解層次（避免、緩解和補償）以及實現生物多樣性至少 10% 淨增長的目標。

• 整體棲地設計: The conversation will delve into the importance of qualitative measures alongside quantitative ones, emphasising the need for thoughtful habitat design that serves both people and wildlife.

• 協同進步：Claire 強調了分享經驗和學習對於完善 BNG 應用的價值。隨著我們的進步，我們需要建立集體理解，以更有效地實施這些原則。

• 未來願景: Finally, we look at the broader objective of using BNG, among other tools, to work towards a future where nature isn’t just preserved but is actively enriched by development activities.

與我們一起探索生物多樣性淨收益如何不僅重塑環境政策的格局，而且還為更永續和對自然有利的未來奠定基礎。請收聽以獲得寶貴的見解，並了解我們如何在這場變革運動中發揮作用。
