We need nature for our long term survival and yet we have taken it so much for granted that we may now be at a tipping point with biodiversity loss and the rapid degradation of ecosystems reaching critical level. The UK has committed to protecting 30% of its land and seas by 2030. So far, our progress has been slow and so this means taking immediate action. The built environment has a crucial role to play but the question is how? What should we be doing? The UKGBC has produced a Framework for a Nature Positive Built Environment and through this we are working to provide the clarity, tools and guidance needed to ensure that the built environment can take meaningful steps towards this goal – starting now.
