Stimulate biobased and nature-inclusive construction through a biodiversity price so ecological value becomes part of the business case. Construction choices can influence carbon storage, material impact, soil, water, habitat quality and landscape integration. A price signal helps make those effects visible.
In the Gelderland built-environment and biobased-construction approach, this connects climate policy with nature policy. It prevents biobased construction from being reduced to carbon alone. A credible incentive should reward measurable biodiversity gains, responsible cultivation and long-term value in the built environment.
