Abstract

The need to transition to a lower carbon, naturesafe renewable energy-based economy is more urgent than ever. This report provides an overview of potential opportunities for biodiversity enhancement for wind and solar developments, bringing together information on good practice principles, case studies from industry practice, and a summary of existing approaches to biodiversity enhancement. It is intended as a compendium summary resource for developers, combining a variety of diffuse information from literature and community of practice.
