Aldersgate Group reaction: Labour announcement on nature policy

Reacting to Labour’s nature policy announcement [1], Rachel Solomon Williams, Executive Director at the Aldersgate Group, said: “Nature is critical to our shared prosperity: businesses and the public recognise this and want to see a race to the top on implementation plans ahead of the general election. This announcement from Labour is an important starting point on some critical issues, and now we need to see clear, detailed delivery plans that drive both public and private sector investment. By creating this positive policy landscape, alongside a regulatory framework that accelerates the adoption of regenerative farming practices, the UK can secure the major benefits that a healthy natural environment provides.”
