Next step to test draft state of nature metrics for terrestrial ecosystems. The Initiative sees ANCA, BirdLife, GRI, IUCN, The Nature Conservancy, TNFD and WBCSD partnering with businesses across sectors, including agriculture, energy, forestry, finance, manufacturing and mining, to test the new framework.
High resolution satellite imagery. Environmental DNA. Artificial intelligence. Technology is revolutionizing how we can measure nature and our impacts on it. But, say Gavin Edwards and Lucy Almond, we need to make sure it’s measuring the right elements of nature, and their underlying data, if we are to halt and reverse nature loss and secure a nature-positive world.
Delve deeper into the four indicators outlined in the draft State of Nature Metrics that help measure and track the state of nature over time, to drive action that can lead to overall nature-positive outcomes.
