Natural Capital Trust

Summary

We will support the development of the Natural Capital Trust (NCT) as an innovative mechanism to deliver enhancement in the quality of the natural environment across the West of England region. The NCT will act as a conduit of funds from developers, and from potential beneficiaries of Payments for Ecosystem Services schemes,
to support a range of projects which ensure provision of services by ecosystems, enhancing (amongst other things) resilience to the effects of climate change and of the region’s infrastructure.
