Abstract
This is envisaged as a joint project or series of projects with Economics Division and CLG to provide the evidence needed to underpin the development of Biodiversity offsets policy. It will include a survey of the implementation of current policy at a local level which will primarily be data collection. A more detailed analysis of the design options for offsetting instruments, associated incentive structures and the resulting private and social costs and benefits of alternative offset options will also be necessary.
