This project will support a new workstream exploring where a natural capital framing of ecosystem services and benefits can be used in reporting to help us achieve our goals for environmental improvement. The project will focus on the water environment including rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, groundwater, coasts & estuaries. Objective 1: Review how natural capital has been applied in environmental reporting across a range of scales and actors - focus on the water environment. The work should review what is being done, who is doing it, for what purpose, what's worked. It should note patterns/trends across different scales (e.g. supra-national, national, local) and sectors (policy, private, third sector) in how natural capital is (and isn't) being applied into reporting. We are also interested in approaches taken in other countries with similar policy and regulatory approaches to the water environment. Objective 2: Identify opportunities where the Environment Agency can apply similar approaches to achieve our goals to improve the water environment. Based on the literature reviewed, the contractor should identify opportunities where the Environment Agency could explore the use of natural capital in reporting to incentivise protection and improvement of the water environment. We anticipate that the project will require searches of databases of scientific literature, grey literature and the identification and review of reports by key advisory bodies. The final reports and outputs are required by 31st March 2025.
