Opportunity or challenge? How can digitalization transform biodiversity reporting?


Big Room

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the world’s leading impact reporting standard setter, presents a session considering the role for digitalization. Digitalization has already transformed many disciplines. What effect is it likely to have on biodiversity reporting? This session will review challenges and opportunities in global digital biodiversity reporting.

This session will assess the current state of play and potential new frontiers for biodiversity reporting. How will digital transformation impact biodiversity reporting in the next five to ten years and how can we ensure that change is positive? Looking at company, country and data user perspectives, we will examine questions such as:
– Who owns the data, and what restrictions should there be around data use?
– Where are the data gaps?
– What is the role for new technology?
– How can we ensure greater measurement accuracy?
– How will digitalization change data collection?
– What impact will XBRL have?
