Accounting methodologies for the quantification of negative and positive biodiversity impacts in the context of a nature positive trajectory
Small Room
Accounting methodologies for the quantification of negative and positive biodiversity impacts in the context of a nature positive trajectory. A panel discussion led by CDC Biodiversité.
This discussion will cover the following topics:
• Differentiating nature-positive trajectories by scale and position in the value chain, from operational sites to corporate and sectoral levels, including supply chains.
• Challenges in the current methodology for calculating biodiversity footprints and comparing “cumulative” versus “mirror” accounting methods.
• Building on existing frameworks to create a scientifically robust accounting system decision-useful for companies and financial institutions.
• Accounting for positive biodiversity impacts and the challenges of integrating them into nature-positive trajectories, including the potential role of biodiversity credits.
• Developing sector-specific guidance, with a focus on the Information and Communication Technologies sector.
