Description

Natural England's Natural Capital Team is seeking to commission an evidence review that examines the confidence with which nature-based interventions deliver specific ecosystem services and benefits from nature, and reduce nature related risks. The nature-based interventions used will build on the evidence on priority actions for nature recovery from the State of Natural Capital Report for England 2024: Risks to nature and why it matters. The review's objectives are to: - Assess confidence in the ecosystem service/benefit outcomes for the framework of nature-based interventions. - Support a clearer, evidence-led relationship between interventions and ecosystem function, services, and benefits. - Offer decision-useful evidence on nature-based interventions acting as nature-based solutions (NbS), which can be used by a large suite of sectors including, but not limited to: environmental practitioners, business, planning, and green finance.
