Glasgow City Council is funding a scheme to encourage natured-based business schemes A pilot project in Glasgow will see nature-based businesses and organisations receive council support. The scheme will be applicable for a wide range of activities including beekeeping, carbon offsetting, ‘green’ roofs, community growing schemes or tree planting enterprises. The Nature-Based Accelerator Programme is now open to applications and is a three-month fully-funded scheme - worth more than £1500 to each successful applicant. A World Economic Forum report suggested that actions to take nature-based solutions into account could create $10 trillion annually in business opportunities. According to the council the programme aims to encourage a more resilient local nature-based economy while improving and maintaining the city’s open spaces.
