Nature and Carbon

Nature-based solutions at landscape scale

Why invest in nature?

Resilience

Healthy ecosystems regulate water, stabilise climate and protect supply chains, helping businesses reduce risk and operate with confidence in a changing world.

Leadership

Expectations are rising from regulators, investors and customers. Investing in high-integrity nature solutions demonstrates credible action and positions your organisation at the forefront of a nature-positive economy.

Growth

Nature is a driver of long-term economic value. Investing in natural capital supports productivity, unlocks new markets and strengthens the foundations of a resilient, future-ready economy.

Nature is the foundation of long-term business resilience.

Healthy ecosystems underpin thriving economies, resilient communities and a stable climate. Yet across the UK these systems are under increasing pressure from biodiversity loss, climate change and unsustainable use of natural resources.

Nature-based solutions offer a powerful way forward. Restoring native habitats at scale helps capture carbon, strengthen water resilience, protect biodiversity and support sustainable rural economies.

Our Nature-based Solutions team works across the 15 National Parks to develop high-integrity nature recovery projects that connect commercial opportunity with environmental impact. By harnessing blended finance and responsible private investment, we translate nature recovery ambition into measurable outcomes for people, nature and the economy.

Working closely with farmers, land managers and local partners ensures every project is rooted in place, shaped by local expertise and designed to deliver long-term benefits for landscapes and communities.

Investing in nature is not simply environmental responsibility. It is a strategic investment in climate resilience, economic stability and the natural systems that businesses depend on.
