OI Public Lecture Series- Beyond green facades: Unpacking Nature Positive and tackling greenwashing in the race to scale up Nature Finance
Event description
The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration represents an urgent call to arms for both public and private sectors to take unprecedented, impactful action to address the global emergencies of biodiversity loss and climate change.
It is critical that nature finance is rapidly scaled so that global targets are met. To do this, we need to fully account for nature in strategy, economic, investment and risk management decisions, recognising that nature is an asset to be protected rather than exploited.
