Key lessons from 50 years of Germany’s impact mitigation regulation for biodiversity offsetting
Abstract
As biodiversity net gain rises on the global
agenda, Germany’s 50-year-old no-net-loss
policy faces mounting resistance amid
pressures to accelerate infrastructure
development. We argue that the regulation
remains essential for maintaining ecological
integrity and that targeted reforms could make
it more efficient, effective and transparent, and
provide key lessons to inform global efforts.
