Our buildings and communities have direct and indirect impacts on habitat, ecosystems and water quality, but together we have the opportunity to support the renewal of nature in our cities.
A nature roadmap for new developments
The draft roadmap provides a framework for the built environment to contribute to the global ambition for a nature-positive future. It recognises that developments must move beyond minimising harm and actively support the protection, regeneration and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
This is a draft for consultation – we invite your input to help shape a roadmap that delivers meaningful outcomes for nature.
Consultation is open until 30 August 2025.

“We’ve worked closely with industry to shape this draft, and we’re now inviting the broader sector to help refine it. This is a critical opportunity to get the settings right, and we need a shared response to tackle these complex challenges.”
Elham Monavari, Head of Green Star Strategic Delivery
