Environmental net gain remains a relatively groundbreaking concept. Introduced more widely through the 25 Year Environment Plan, environmental net gain is an approach to development that leaves both biodiversity and the environment in a measurably better state than prior to development. It is measured by biodiversity measures, ecosystem services and environmental metrics.

The design of habitat enhancement and creation to deliver Biodiversity Net Gain can, with thought, also deliver enhanced natural capital value, benefiting people directly in other ways, including delivering climate mitigation and adaptation solutions.

ENG can be taken into account at individual development level, local planning authority, catchment and landscape levels

This insights webinar aims to provide an introduction to ENG, exploring what it is and how it differs from Biodiversity Net Gain and Natural Capital. It will also delve into how it has been applied in policy and practice, and the challenges with applying it.

This will be followed by a panel discussion and questions.

Speakers in the webinar:

  • Andrew Thomson, Senior Advisor, Natural England
  • Sophus zu Ermgassen, Ecological Economist, Oxford University
  • Penny Borton, Senior Associate Director (Natural Capital), Jacobs
  • Chris Plester, Net Gain Technical Lead, National Grid

We all know that there is a green skills gap; we don’t currently have the knowledge or experience to reach our net zero and biodiversity goals. We need to focus on ensuring that new talent entering the workforce has the relevant skills, but also look at how we can ensure that the existing workforce are prepared for the future. This session will provide insights into the skills gap, look at which sectors this is more prevalent in, and provide some context in how we can upskill and train individuals to get to where we need to be.

We’ll look at the different opportunities in upskilling, and hear from Generation UK, a provider of green Skills Bootcamps in England. We’ll also hear from career changer Daniel, who will talk about his experiences of an IEMA training course, how that shaped his thinking for a future career move, and tips for working through a transition.

So if you’re thinking about your role in the green economy and interested in how to refine your skills, sign up to this webinar today!

This webinar provides an update on the development and implementation of Marine Net Gain. We will hear from speakers who are leading the development of policy in this area, as well as how it is being applied locally on the coast. We will also hear from developers on how they are planning ahead to ensure compliance with the regime once it is implemented.

In June 2022, Defra consulted on the Principles of Marine Net Gain. It was stated as part of the Defra consultation, that Marine Net Gain will operate alongside existing planning policy and practice to ensure that current environmental standards, including the conservation objectives for habitats, species and designated sites, are maintained and implemented.

In December 2022, a national environmental target was published. This requires 70% of the designated features in the Marine Protected Areas network to be in favourable condition by 2042, with the remainder in recovering condition, and additional reporting on changes in individual feature condition.

In December 2023, Defra provided a response to the consultation which included a summary of the responses provided across the different topic areas, as well suggested strategic and site-based interventions.

This webinar is aimed at IEMA members who are working on policy and developments in the marine environment, as well as on the coastal fringes with its overlapping consenting regimes.

This webinar will provide:

- an update on the current marine net gain policy development

- case studies of implementing marine net gain

- insight into the opportunities for future compliance

- the delivery of greater environmental outcomes in marine net gain

Speakers include:

- Lee Gunton – Senior Policy Advisor Marine Net Gain, Defra

- Abigail Crosby – Senior Marine Officer, Cornwall Council

- Samir Whitaker – Biodiversity Lead Specialist, Orsted

- Mark Herbert - Consents and Environment Specialist, Associated British Ports
