## Notice

The Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) programme is a partnership programme managed by Defra. NCEA will transform and innovate the way our evidence-base is captured, analysed and brought together to ensure science meets the needs of policy/decision makers to embed a natural capital approach, allowing us to leave our environment in a better state than we found it. Better data and evidence are required so that government and society can: * Understand our natural capital, how and why it is changing. * Tackle pressures on the environment and the drivers of change. * Take biodiversity and natural capital into account in decision making. * Target action where it will be most effective. * Evaluate policies and interventions to improve their effectiveness across Defra bodies
