Eco-metric approach to Growing Natural Capital Phase 3

The Eco-metric Tool is designed to work in conjunction with the updated biodiversity metric 2.0 to secure wider benefits for people, places and nature from investment in biodiversity . It is biodiversity-led and will capture the wider goods and services delivered by biodiversity net gain, building on ambitions set out in the 25 Year Environment Plan. The Eco-metric is a research and development project, focusing on experimental development, drawing on existing knowledge gained from research and practical experience, directed to producing a new tool.

The project is being undertaken in phases and phase 3 will focus on a detailed evaluation of pilots already undertaken and make consequent improvements to the Eco-metric tool.
