Biodiversity Net Gain Definitions
Our comprehensive definitions guide, divided into three categories, aims to demystify this complex world and equip you with the knowledge to confidently navigate the BNG space.

As part of our work to demystify Biodiversity Net Gain and Environmental Net Gain for industry, UKGBC has produced a hub page of definitions that can act as a cheat sheet. They were published as part of a wider body of resources that aim to help the built environment as we look to comply with and exceed the Biodiversity Net Gain legislation coming in November 2023.
