The UK’s natural landscapes from wetlands to woodlands face growing pressures from climate change and habitat loss. But they also offer opportunities for environmental restoration and economic growth. This panel unites government, businesses, and academics to explore how collaborative action can safeguard biodiversity and drive regeneration and innovation.
You’ll hear practical insights and UK-wide case studies where habitat restoration improved water quality, enhanced biodiversity, and created new jobs. The discussion will focus on nature-based solutions and partnerships that unite public, private, and community stakeholders. This session will show how integrating biodiversity into urban planning and business creates lasting environmental, social, and economic value.
