Success measures

To realise the priorities and commitments set out in this plan, it is vital we know what success looks like. We have identified 5 measures to track our progress, which will allow us to continually revisit, refocus and optimise our approach to achieve long term strategic success:

1. Define the existing habitats and natural assets across the University of Liverpool estate by July 2026 and adopt this as the baseline position.
2. Make a pledge as a Nature Positive University, including committing to setting S.M.A.R.T. targets to increase our baseline position by July 2027.
3. Biodiversity net gain of at least 10% linked to all estate developments.
4. Record attendance at biodiversity events at the University estate and increase by 10% over the duration of the plan, to 2031.
5. Biodiversity to be incorporated in all competitive tenders related to capital projects by January 2027.
