SUMMARY:Towards Clarity and Consensus: How Apparel Brands Can Measure Their Biodiversity Impacts for a Nature-Positive Future Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The WEF has identified biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse as one of the fastest deteriorating global risks over the next decade. With close ties to biodiversity loss throughout their value chains\, many apparel brands are seeking to measure\, monitor\, and reduce their impacts on nature. \nSeveral approaches to measuring corporate biodiversity performance have emerged\, forming a complex landscape for businesses to navigate. Before they can act to transform supply chains and the ecosystems they touch\, brands must understand how to measure their impacts. \nThis webinar will discuss:\n• The tools and frameworks available for measurement\, including mapping tools and natural capital accounting\n• What is the outlook for alignment on biodiversity measurement and valuation for businesses?\n• How brands can use the TNFD Framework to report and verify their biodiversity impacts\n• Best practice from brands building nature-positive strategies today \nTextile Exchange’s Liesl Truscott will be on the panel.

SUMMARY:UN Biodiversity Conference COP15
DESCRIPTION:Despite ongoing efforts\, biodiversity is deteriorating worldwide and this decline is projected to worsen with business-as-usual scenarios. The UN Biodiversity Conference will convene governments from around the world to agree to a new set of goals for nature over the next decade through the Convention on Biological Diversity post-2020 framework process. The framework sets out an ambitious plan to implement broad-based action to bring about a transformation in society’s relationship with biodiversity and to ensure that\, by 2050\, the shared vision of living in harmony with nature is fulfilled. \nThe Conference will also look at the implementation of the protocols of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) that deal with the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the use of nature\, and the safe transport\, handling and labeling of Living Modified Organisms. \nThe first part of COP-15 included the opening of the Meetings and addressed agenda items that were identified as essential for the continuation of the operations of the Convention and the Protocols by the Bureau. This included meetings about administrative matters and technical issues related to CBD programmes. \nThere was also a high-level segment on 12 and 13 October 2021. Participants focused on the development of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. \nThe conference will take place in Montreal\, Canada. All sessions at COP-15 will be streamed live at cbd.int/live and the main schedule is also available.
