Recommendation 35

35

Maintain steadfast commitment to implementing biodiversity net gain policy to avoid market uncertainty.

Recommendation
At such an early stage it is difficult to assess the full impacts of the biodiversity net gain policy. The Government should remain steadfast in its commitment to implementation of this policy: any indication that it could be rolled back would cause uncertainty in the market and would have a negative impact on investment in nature restoration initiatives.
