RICS UK Biodiversity 4.0 Webinar

In today's rapidly changing landscape, environmental sustainability and conservation have taken centre stage. Biodiversity conservation, in particular, is a critical aspect of responsible development and land use planning. With the evolution of regulations and metrics, staying up-to-date is paramount. That's why we're excited to present a webinar that sheds light on a ground-breaking advancement – the Biodiversity Metric 4.0.

Furthermore, this webinar is especially pertinent as the Biodiversity Metric 4.0 is expected to form the basis of the statutory Metric for mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). Mandatory BNG requires development to achieve at least 10% increase in ‘habitat units’ measured by the statutory Metric and will come into force for most developments seeking planning permission this November. All this means that staying informed is essential for professionals across various fields.

• Gain insights into the Biodiversity Metric 4.0 and how it calculates BNG.
• Understand the opportunities and challenges from using the Biodiversity Metric 4.0 to inform planning and development in England.
• Get expert insights and practical advice for navigating this significant change in the sustainability sector.
