Moving the needle in corporate biodiversity impacts: measure, disclose and act

¿Por qué asistir a esta sesión?
The last couple of years have seen a very fast maturing and convergence of corporate biodiversity impact assessment approaches. This session will focus on the next steps: how will regulation, pressure from investors and science based targets drive their mainstreaming across companies? How can this contribute to the global post-2020 framework?
HideDescripción
The session addresses the Congress theme "Leveraging economic and financial systems for sustainability" and focuses on corporate & portfolio biodiversity impact measurement to drive business and finance to disclose and act to lower their impacts. It is organised in 3 stages: first an overview of existing corporate biodiversity impact assessment tools and their convergence. Second a pitch explaining the forces which will lead businesses to disclose and lower their biodiversity impacts. Third several businesses will share their experience, and in some cases commitments under the CBD action agenda, based on their impact assessments. The goals are to: A/ illustrate footprint assessment approaches with concrete case studies B/ showcase how mandatory reporting in some countries (France, the European Union), non-financial rating from investors and science-based targets will lead companies to mainstream biodiversity C/ share large businesses’ commitments and feed the CBD’s action agenda
