Real climate action starts with understanding and caring for the world around us — the soil, water, and ecosystems that sustain life.

At Senus, we turn environmental data into clear insights to help organisations take action that matters. 🌱

Natural capital and ecosystem services provide the foundations on which societies survive and thrive. Governments must integrate natural capital accounting into their decisionmaking frameworks to improve decision-making and long-term planning. #naturalcapital

Key messages ● Households that meet the ‘15-minute commitment’ are defined as those which have access to either doorstep, local or neighbourhood standard green spaces, as well as some Public Rights of Way and blue spaces, within a 15-minute walk. ● 80% of households in England have access to at least one green or blue space within a 15-minute walk. ● A higher percentage of rural households (91%) have access to green or blue space compared to urban households (78%). ● Most households have access to at least one larger, neighbourhood standard space (76%) within a 15-minute walk, with fewer households having access to smaller local (14%) and doorstep (16%) standard spaces within shorter walking distances.

Jacobs to Support National Ecosystem Survey Delivery for UK Government’s Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment Coordinated field surveys will support national environmental data – foundational to setting policy DALLAS, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been selected by Natural England and Defra (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) to provide coordination and field delivery services for the England Ecosystem Survey. This is a cornerstone project within the U.K. government’s Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment program, which is assessing England’s land, freshwater and coastal ecosystems to produce a baseline of England’s natural assets by 2029. The England Ecosystem Survey is delivered by Natural England, and Jacobs’ work will support the collection of […]

DP21090 Carbon, Natural Capital and the Option Values of Climate Policies We develop a unified cost-benefit framework that allows for a better understanding of nature conservation and climate policies under risk and uncertainty. We derive modified Hotelling rules from a social planner’s welfare optimization. They reveal four forces that jointly determine market design for climate and nature conservation: First, discounted marginal climate damages enter the social cost of carbon (SCC) and marginal ecosystem services the social value of nature (SVN). Second, climate and nature are coupled, which raises both prices: degradation of ecosystems increases the SCC, while climate damages raise the SVN. Third, a climate-nature beta quantifies additional hedging components of policies against fat tails, when we consider a stochastic setting with exogenous random shocks. The climate-nature beta summarizes the option values for abatement, adaptation, ecosystem restoration and carbon dioxide removal. Fourth, Markov markups quantify tipping risks, which we capture by extending the model to a constrained Markov decision process with state-contingent transition probabilities. Thereby, we endogenize tipping points: the likelihood of moving into a high-damage regime becomes a function of the atmospheric carbon stock and natural capital, which depend on policy choices. Thus, hazard risks are a policy-sensitive component of the system’s dynamics. The model yields state-contingent asset-pricing formulas for carbon prices, restoration subsidies, land charges, and capacity payments. We propose institutions at the level of the European Union that could implement Pigouvian taxes and subsides as well as new types of SCC- and SVN-indexed bonds to share non-diversifiable risks arising from Earth's changing climate and the degradation of its biosphere.
