Innovations in Mainstreaming Biodiversity for Nature-Positive Infrastructure
Big Room
Countries need their infrastructure to deliver biodiversity gains – not degradation – ensuring a safe future for people and the planet. Mainstreaming biodiversity is the key - but is it feasible? Inspiring cases say yes! Session led by the Infrastructure and Nature Coalition.
Countries can transform their infrastructure for a thriving future into a driver of biodiversity gains – not degradation – through coordinated action across the KMGBF targets. This exciting session will explore biodiversity mainstreaming successes and challenges in this highly complex and impactful sector. Participants will explore innovations with practitioners from around the world working on biodiversity-positive infrastructure planning, inclusion, policy, finance, and design to safeguard protected areas, communities, habitats, and connectivity. Discussions will generate participant recommendations on how the conservation community can help countries secure their natural infrastructure and generate a new era in inclusive, nature-positive, and zero-carbon infrastructure development.
