Abstract:
This project seeks to construct an interdisciplinary expert and stakeholder community to uncover and pilot using 'discoverable' data to construct a usable and scientifically rigorous biodiversity dataset. To achieve that, the project will be led by the Oxford Sustainable Finance Group, in partnership with WCMC and Catapult, in four key stages: Stage One: Network building Stage Two: construction of a strawman for integrating biodiversity in ESG metrics Stage Three: Testing and revising the strawman Stage Four: White Paper, Next Steps and Capacity Building The project will result in: (1) a community of committed stakeholders; (2) a concept note of use cases of biodiversity metrics, existing data and capacity availability and gaps; (3) a tested blueprint of what a biodiversity finance database would look like; (4) an agreed-upon plan of next steps forward.
