Why attend
As biodiversity credits gain traction, this session offers participants insights from global initiatives like BCA, IAPB, and IEG. Attendees will engage with leading institutions, initiatives and experts, explore current efforts, and discover pathways to shape high-integrity nature markets through co-creation and collective action.
Session Description
This session will foster collaboration, peer learning, and dialogue among stakeholders in nature finance. It will: - highlight global leadership through initiatives like the Biodiversity Credit Alliance (BCA), International Advisory Panel on Biodiversity Credits (IAPB), and International Environmental Guardianship (IEG), emphasizing High-Level Principles that promote transparency, integrity, inclusivity, and equity; - explore how biodiversity credits are being designed to finance ecosystem restoration and conservation; and assess their potential to contribute to global biodiversity targets; - center rights and equity in market design, recognizing the leadership of Indigenous Peoples, Local Communities, and Afro-descendants; and - examine roles across sectors from private sector accountability to enabling government policies and de-risking mechanisms to catalyze investment and demand. A high-level panel and expert discussions with UNDP, IAPB, IEG, governments, IUCN, CI, WWF, private sector and others will offer insights into current efforts and outline pathways to co-create high-integrity nature markets for inclusive conservation and restoration outcomes.Organised by
