Call for Papers closing TOMORROW! We are still open for presentation proposals for the Spring Conference on Mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain. This conference will focus on the first year of mandatory biodiversity net gain, providing a platform for professionals to reflect on its implementation, share lessons learned, and discuss future directions. As the UK moves towards the full implementation of biodiversity net gain requirements, this conference offers a timely opportunity to explore the challenges, successes, and insights gained from its practical application. We are particularly interested in contributions that address the integration of biodiversity net gain into planning and development, its impact on ecosystems, and the policy landscape surrounding its delivery.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has announced plans today to expedite the construction of infrastructure projects, including nuclear plants, train lines, and wind farms by modifying existing regulations. He emphasised that the new approach would prevent local opposition groups, often referred to as NIMBYs (Not In My Backyard), from hindering development. This perspective raises concerns about the potential weakening of environmental safeguards in favour of accelerated development. Read the full news item 👉 https://lnkd.in/gQrXvht5
