The State of Natural Capital Report for England 2024: Risks to Nature and Why it Matters, is a new report from Natural England. The report brings together scientific evidence on the state of our natural capital in England for decision-makers. It describes why nature is relevant to broad policy areas. Making the invisible visible and providing the missing evidence needed by setting out the state of ecosystem assets, assessing their risk levels, and identifying opportunities and actions to address these risks. It highlights the consequences of risks to nature for economic resilience, net zero, climate adaptation, food security, water security, and health and wellbeing.
“Tackling the nature crisis will require action across all sectors to reduce risks to society. This report is your guide to action. I encourage you to read it, use it, and secure the benefits nature provides into the future, not just for yourself but for society as a whole and the natural world which sustains us.”- Tony Juniper
