BioCarbon is committed to ensuring the highest standards for Biodiversity Initiatives Certification. We issue Biodiversity Credits (BDCs) only when a Certification Body has audited the Biodiversity Conservation Initiative and certified the Net Gains in Biodiversity (NGB). Certification Bodies must adhere to BioCarbon's principles, maintain international accreditations, and ensure impartiality, competence, and coherence. Certification Bodies interested in auditing and certifying Biodiversity Initiatives for BDCs with BioCarbon should fill out the Application Form and send it, along with required documentation, to [email protected].

BNG gets closer… Pivoting development from potentially nature destructive to nature positive is a huge step forward amongst the many other steps required to tackle the biodiversity and climate crisis. Every published update, draft, and guidance builds the much needed confidence in these potentially very powerful reforms. January will be here before you know it. #bng #biodiversitynetgain #naturebasedsolutions

Today is International Day for Biodiversity. 🌍 🌱 “Be part of the Plan”, the theme of IDB 2024, is a call to action for all stakeholders to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by supporting the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, also referred to as the Biodiversity Plan. UN Biodiversity Governments, indigenous peoples, local communities, non-governmental organisations, lawmakers, businesses, and individuals are encouraged to highlight how they support implementing the Biodiversity Plan. 👏🏻 As part of the mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements, it is essential to maintain on-site and off-site gains for at least 30 years. A legal agreement must be made that includes detailed information on how the habitats will be managed, maintained, and monitored and who will be responsible for them. This agreement is called the Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) and should be written and compiled by a competent professional ecologist.

Senior Policy Advisor - Land Use Division at Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
📣 Congrats to colleagues working on biodiversity net gain policy, who published multiple pieces of legislation and guidance today! It’s been great to work with DEFRA metric lead Katie Gowers on the metric’s strategic significance factor and I’m really happy with where we’ve got to and what this means - the devil’s in the detail! 👉 We have legislation in place to incentivise landowners to deliver strategic actions for nature on their land. Landowners can sell a higher number of biodiversity units per hectare if their land is included in their area’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS). 🥕This creates a genuine carrot for strategic action for nature and the wider environment. The uplift recognises the importance of nature markets delivering the right action in the right place (with the right evidence and engagement base!) ⚖️This leaves space for landowners to explore new options and incentives, without penalties - or being forced into a commitment before they’ve had the chance to consider different models to ensure changes are sustainable. The uplift only counts if you have entered into an agreement to sell biodiversity units there. It doesn’t make it more expensive land to develop on (biodiversity value is already covered by the metric!) - an important loophole to close, making sure LNRS won’t be misused to block development on brownfield sites.

In England, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) will apply to most new major development under the Town and Country Planning Act (TCPA) from January 2024. New draft regulations and guidance, as well as a biodiversity gain plan template were published this week. Those rules require that developers must deliver a minimum 10% BNG in the context of their developments. Habitat enhanced or created to deliver BNG will also need to be secured, maintained, and monitored for at least 30 years. The lack of standardised national metric to measure BNG in Ireland has been identified as a challenge by members of the Irish Green Building Council ‘Biodiversity in the built environment’ Community of Practice. The recent report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Biodiversity Loss also recommended updating planning policy in Ireland to require all new developments to have a significant net-gain for the environment and biodiversity - action 144. BNG will be extensively discussed at Irish Green Building Council ‘Biodiversity in the built environment’ Community of Practice in 2024.
