Abstract/Summary:
The authors’ aim in conducting the interviews with companies, regulators and biodiversity experts that form the basis of this report was to explore the potential and limitations of biodiversity offsets: to consider the concepts involved, such as “net benefit” and “no net loss”, as well as why, where, when and by whom biodiversity offsets might be used, and what issues remain to be resolved. In the report, we discuss these issues and draw preliminary conclusions regarding the potential and limitations of biodiversity offsets, and what steps are needed to develop the approach further.
