  1. Natural Capital: The national context Guy Thompson Natural England Chief Operating Officer www.gov.uk/natural-england

  2. What has nature ever done for us?

  3. The Natural Capital Committee Too often natural capital is an afterthought, left out of the core of economic considerations. Without an economic price, it has too often been assumed to be of zero value. Dieter Helm, Chair of the Natural Capital Committee

  4. Natural England’s Conservation Strategy C21 aims to reconnect people with their environment; restore and recover ecosystems; and have a thriving economy with a rich and resilient natural environment that is integral to everyday life, rather than fenced-off from it.

  5. The Green Halo • The Green Halo will encourage development of projects that recognise the value of the natural environment and use this to deliver nature’s benefits. • Cross boundary working. • New ways of working. • An opportunity to lead the • country in turning policy into practice.
