Why attend
You're invited to explore how the mitigation hierarchy underpins credible Nature Positive strategies. This session will launch new IUCN resources, including technical briefs and Academy course, offering practical tools for policymakers, practitioners, and businesses to design science-based actions that halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
Session Description
This session will explore how the mitigation hierarchy underpins credible Nature Positive strategies, highlighting new resources developed by IUCN and partners. It will open with an introduction to the Impact Mitigation and Ecological Compensation (IMEC) group, which supports knowledge exchange on biodiversity impact mitigation. Technical presentations will clarify the Nature Positive goal and its link to the Global Biodiversity Framework, provide practical insights into applying the mitigation hierarchy at project and value chain levels, and share a case study from Guinea on compensating residual impacts on chimpanzees. The session will also launch the IUCN Technical Briefs and the new IUCN Academy course “Mitigation Hierarchy and Biodiversity Offsets: Foundations for Contributing to Nature Positive Goals”, which offers practical training to policymakers, practitioners, and businesses. An interactive Q&A will enable dialogue with experts, fostering collaboration, capacity-building, and stronger alignment around science-based Nature Positive strategies.Partners
