Why this matters
2030
Date set by the government to halt the decline of nature in the UK
£2.4bn
Estimated total annual cost of flood and water quality issues to businesses and the government
80%
Percentage of UK peatland which is degraded and responsible for five per cent of the country’s total greenhouse gas emissions
