Aonachadh (ún`-ach-A) is gaelic for coming together, for two faces of a mountain that meet to form a uniting ridge. Building on and expanding an existing network of over 280+ organisations, we will bring together a wide range of stakeholders interested in investable biodiversity uplift projects. We will develop methods for creating standardised, accessible, and verifiable data, metrics and tools for voluntary biodiversity markets, and co-create research questions and a programme of work that can lead to a common framework for data gathering and business models and community engagement methods acceptable to supply-side projects as well as demand side investors.Research activity will enable us to come together in workshops and working groups to collaboratively co-create research questions, and then share, discuss and learn from lessons emerging from biodiversity uplift pilot projects engaging with voluntary markets in Scotland.Our research network - of established and emerging projects, financiers and policy makers - will contribute to NERC's Nature Positive Future programme from the unique context of Scotland, which is experiencing unprecedented increases in land values alongside a land reform agenda that seeks to deliver benefits from biodiversity markets for local communities. Scotland's place-based approach to ecosystem market development provides a unique opportunity to understand interactions between biodiversity, finance and society and what this means for environmental and economic resilience. Recent and ongoing work from the core team, and established connections with UK stakeholders and channel partners Ecosystems Knowledge Network and the Green Finance Institute, means we can initiate a quick start for more results and impact.

Aonachadh （ún ' -ach-A）是盖尔语，意思是结合在一起，指山的两面相遇形成一个统一的山脊。在现有的280多个组织网络的基础上，我们将把对可投资的生物多样性提升项目感兴趣的广泛利益相关者聚集在一起。我们将制定方法，为自愿生物多样性市场创建标准化、可获取和可验证的数据、指标和工具，并共同制定研究问题和工作计划，从而形成一个可供供方项目和需求方投资者接受的数据收集、商业模式和社区参与方法的共同框架。研究活动将使我们能够在研讨会和工作组中聚集在一起，合作共同创造研究问题，然后分享、讨论和学习从苏格兰自愿市场参与的生物多样性提升试点项目中产生的经验教训。我们的研究网络——由成熟的和新兴的项目、金融家和政策制定者组成——将从苏格兰的独特背景为NERC的自然积极未来项目做出贡献，苏格兰正在经历前所未有的土地价值增长，同时土地改革议程也在寻求从生物多样性市场中为当地社区带来好处。苏格兰基于地方的生态系统市场开发方法为了解生物多样性、金融和社会之间的相互作用以及这对环境和经济弹性的意义提供了独特的机会。核心团队最近和正在进行的工作，以及与英国利益相关者和渠道合作伙伴生态系统知识网络和绿色金融研究所建立的联系，意味着我们可以快速启动更多的成果和影响。
