| Thérèse Coffey - "international leadership" |
A £30-million Big Nature Impact Fund has today been unveiled by Whitehall.
The stated aim is to encourage private investors to help fund green projects - for instance, planting of as many as 16 million trees, peat restoration and water quality improvement.
A proposed spin-off to biodiversity-enhancement will be the creation of green jobs and the "opening up of new avenues for green finance".
More details will be announced in due course.
In the meantime, Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey comments: "We continue to demonstrate international leadership through commitments to create a natural world that is richer in plants and wildlife."
