Partner Insight: Patch explores the nature-based credit market opportunities for businesses, and how to proactively navigate changing EU regulations

Are nature-based credits the answer to biodiversity challenges?

The UK is one of the world's most nature-depleted countries – it is in the bottom 10 per cent globally, with just half of its biodiversity left compared to a global average of 75 per cent. ​Yet the global economy depends on biodiversity and the natural landscapes that host it.

BusinessGreen's latest Nature and Biodiversity series explores the potential nature-based credit market opportunities for businesses, and how to proactively navigate changing EU regulations.

The BusinessGreen Nature and Biodiversity special, produced in association with Patch, aims to analyse these challenges, offering solutions for businesses to navigate the complexities they may see, and ensure their net zero journey has nature at its heart.
