What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe 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
