This is the government’s response to the independent business-led Ecosystem Markets Task Force, which was set up “to review the opportunities for UK business from expanding green goods, services, products, investment vehicles and markets which value and protect nature’s services.‟

This response covers all 22 recommendations made by the Task Force, including their top 5 priorities: biodiversity offsetting; bio-energy and anaerobic digestion; sustainable local woodfuel; nature based certification and labelling; and water cycle catchment management.
