Local Investment in Natural Capital - Phase 3

The LINC programme must align with this wider policy landscape and help deliver statutory biodiversity targets (e.g. the Government's 30×30 pledge and biodiversity duty). Alignment will avoid duplication, maximise opportunities and ensure that natural capital initiatives complement decarbonisation efforts. Consultants therefore need to understand the programmes above and identify how the work packages outlined in this specification can support these, especially LNRS and emerging nature markets.
