A major change in the approach to sustainable planning is taking shape with the introduction of biodiversity net gain regulations. They aim to ensure that natural habitats are protected and improved when new developments are undertaken. This will help combat climate change, safeguard the environment, and encourage green construction practices. Taking prompt action is essential. According to The Biodiversity Intactness Index (2021), by the Natural History Museum, global biodiversity has already dipped below safe thresholds. The research reveals the UK has only half of its entire biodiversity left, ranking it within the bottom 10% of the world's countries. In steps to address these risks, we’ve been extensively researching and developing ways to produce and blend minerals and soils. Our range of tailored biodiversity solutions help developers and contractors to protect the environment and precious resources. Whether it's enhancing biodiversity, implementing land remediation projects, green construction methods, or wildflower planting initiatives, we're here to offer our expertise. The unique surroundings of an old Victorian brickworks and ash pit, provides an ideal backdrop for our sustainable mineral solutions. For further details about the new environmental legislation, its implications and how we can help, explore our latest blog post. https://lnkd.in/eHZJXhJ9 #BiodiversityNetGain #biodiversity #SustainablePlanning #ClimateSolutions #InfrastructureSolutions #NaturalHabitats #LandRemediation #GreenConstruction #CarbonCapture #WildflowerMeadows

Nature-based solutions are approaches that use natural processes to address our biggest societal challenges from... how to achieve sustainable development to how to tackle biodiversity loss.   On #WorldWaterDay, we’re exploring how our water and infrastructure teams are combining their skills and experience using #NatureBasedSolutions to protect water and increase resilience to #ClimateChange.

Is the LA River clean? Sometimes no, but more than often - yes! Did you know the water is actually tertiary treated which means it gets processed three times! The LA River watershed is only one example where a conflict between recycled water investments and downstream users is emerging. As the demand for recycled water grows and local agencies consider new projects, other watersheds could benefit from similar efforts to better understand the impacts of water recycling on the local ecology and downstream users. When we took a trip around LA with Kat Superfisky we got to see LA through their eyes. Head to my YouTube channel for the full episode :) #climate #sustainability #urbanplanner #urbanplanning

No step is too small, or too big when it comes to giving back to the environment. The earliest documented memory of conservation at Bosch is a signboard with the words, ‘Save Water!’ and other similar reminders printed on them. A disciplined conservationist, Robert Bosch’s lessons on handling natural resources continue to resonate with associates across the world, even decades later. Today, #sustainability has a permanent reservation at the table where any business win is discussed. This #WorldNatureConservationDay we take a look at how far we have come, while remaining conscious of how much further we have to go. #GreenPlanet #EnergyConservation #RenewableEnergy #WaterConservation #Afforestation #Rejuvenation #EnvironmentalInitiatives
