Can we translate nature into numbers and what are the consequences of using economic concepts of risks and return when quantifying nature? These where some of the issues explored at the hybrid seminar "Net negative and nature positive: Disclosure as a game changer or cheap talk?" in November 2022.
In November 2022, the Pufendorf IAS's Theme Nature by Numbers organised a full day seminar and workshop to explore options and pathways for enhanced climate and biodiversity action. The day broght together high-profile experts from policy, industry, financial markets and academia to delve into the interconnected issues of climate and biodiversity. The keynotes presentations discussed the role of metrics, roles and responsibilities as well as the human dimensions in measuring biodiversity.
During the workshop the participants also identified several critical steps forward, which will be presented in a series of policy briefs in 2023.
