Join us at Geovation in London on 1st July, where we will convene a diverse mix of stakeholders operating across the Natural Capital value chain, to drive forward a standardised approach to spatial reporting, monitoring and evaluation.
Natural Capital refers to the stock of natural resources, such as water, air, soil and biodiversity, from which people can or do benefit. England’s first Land Use Framework has recently been published, and the government has acknowledged that nature must be considered as critical infrastructure. This follows enhanced legislative demands, with the requirement now being mandatory for all new development to improve biodiversity by 10% (Biodiversity Net Gain), which came into force across England in 2024.
With Natural Capital continuing to receive increased attention and prominence, there is a need for consistency and standardisation in measurement, monitoring and evaluation, all of which is underpinned by location. Although frameworks are consolidating, a wide range of geospatial methods are currently being used for reporting natural capital.
At this event, participants will hear directly from a broad range of perspectives and organisations, including Taskforce for Nature Related Financial Disclosure (TNFD), Natwest, Howden Insurance, Ordnance Survey and more.
The full day program will include group participation in a series of roundtable discussions, with the aim of facilitating the development of improved geospatial standards.
Numbers are limited, and available on a first come, first served basis, with a registration fee of £75 for AGI Members, and £120 for AGI Non-Members, to cover the costs of lunch and early evening drinks reception.
