Biodiversity strategy and delivery plan: fairer Scotland duty assessment

Summary of assessment findings

The Biodiversity Strategy is not directly aimed at any particular socio-economic group. We all depend on biodiversity - the biodiversity crisis affects everyone. It provides our food, helps prevent flooding and soil erosion, purifies our water and contributes to our wellbeing, by providing recreation and a sense of place. It is anticipated that in the long-term the Strategy will impact positively on all sectors of society through the provision of thriving and resilient ecosystems, access to green jobs and green spaces.
