Biodiversity credits: creating an enabling environment to restore and protect our natural habitats
Saturday, December 17, 13:00 - 14:00 ET
The event will explore how the emerging demand for measurable biodiversity impacts from investors could lead to a global standard for measuring such impacts. At the same time, the discussion will explore to what extent unregulated, voluntary markets in which biodiversity credits would be traded could lead to the misinterpretation of impacts, as well as to put on the table the general principles that these projects should have in order to achieve real objectives of nature protection and restoration.
