Notice Title

RDE 427 - Nature Returns: Motivations of Buyers of Ecosystem Services

Notice Description

The research will be focused on market demand for ecosystem services such as water quality, water cooling, natural flood management, and biodiversity, and the saleable 'products' or 'goods' within these emerging voluntary nature markets. Our understanding of buyers of carbon units is more developed and is not the focus of this work, however these buyers may be able to provide insights as to why certain products/projects are favoured over others. This contract was awarded by EA.
