Abstract:
The Strategic Coordination and Integration Hub comprises three 'themes', integrating and synthesising flagship outputs. Theme 1, Data, tools and metrics, will analyse how biodiversity is measured and assess the data, tools and infrastructure-needs of stakeholders. Theme 2, Capacity and innovation, will build capacity in finance and biodiversity through secondments, innovation labs and events to build capability and showcase nature-positive finance. Theme 3, UK nations and international co-operation, will reflect on the UK's four national approaches, consider international best practices and synthesize knowledge for biodiversity markets and policy. The Hub will administer the programme, deliver integrated communication, outreach and engagement across flagships and link with UKRI programmes such as Economics of Biodiversity. The UK Financial Institutions for Nature Group, established by the Green Finance Institute, will act as the programme's independent advisory group. This group of 20 financial organisations will provide guidance on emerging research challenges, and feedback on outputs, dissemination and programme delivery.
