OI Public Lecture Series: Beyond Green Facades

The second of our Oceans Institute Public Lectures for 2024.

The global Nature Positive target to achieve a net gain in nature by 2030 is an urgent call to arms for both public and private sectors to take unprecedented, impactful action to address the catastrophic loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

To enable progress towards these targets, it is critical that nature finance is rapidly and sustainably scaled. To do this, we need to fully account for nature in strategy, economic, investment and risk management decisions, recognising that nature is an asset to be protected rather than exploited. Central to this is the need to ensure the integrity, transparency, and governance of nature-positive claims in the market which are underpinned by good quality data and standards.

Speaker: Dr Rachael Marshall, Accounting for Nature.
