NETGAIN will contribute to securing productive, healthy and resilient environments and societies by supporting new environmental solutions and disseminating those directly into practice via industry partnerships. We will deliver this ambitious vision with training that empowers the next generation of researchers with the breadth of skills necessary to navigate disciplinary and sectoral boundaries, integrating diverse evidence and methods to generate nuanced scientific insights and deliver pragmatic policy outcomes.
“Net gain is an approach to development that aims to leave the natural environment in a measurably better state than beforehand.”

“The NETGAIN vision is of a collaborative doctoral training programme integrating diverse disciplinary and sectoral perspectives to directly address critical training needs and knowledge gaps associated with net gain and the design and implementation of nature markets. Central to this is an emphasis on multidisciplinary co-creation.”
