Why attend
Discover how science-based restoration can transform policy, business, and practice to achieve Nature Positive outcomes. This session brings together global experts and real-world case studies, offering practical tools and strategies to scale restoration, strengthen collaboration, and turn biodiversity commitments into credible, measurable results.
Session Description
Ecosystem restoration is essential to achieving the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. This session will explore how restoration, in the context of the mitigation hierarchy and grounded in science, can reduce residual biodiversity impacts and support a Nature Positive future. It will present key scientific insights, practical tools, and real-world examples that integrate restoration, mitigation hierarchy, and Nature Positive approaches, drawing on IUCN frameworks. The session will clarify and connect key concepts—restoration, mitigation hierarchy, biodiversity offsetting, and Nature Positive—showing how they can deliver ecological and social co-benefits at landscape scale. Participants will engage with new guidance and case studies demonstrating how these approaches can be applied across scales and sectors. Expected outcomes include broader uptake of science-based methods, wider use of tools, and stronger collaboration toward credible Nature Positive strategies.Organized by
