Understanding species threats in a globalised world: Supply chain assessments in conservation

¿Por qué asistir a esta sesión?
In our globalised world, we rely on complex supply chains which separate us from the ecosystem impacts embedded in the products and services we use - this session will explore the use of state-of-the-art supply chain assessments for biodiversity conservation, and discuss ways to reduce economically-induced species threats.
HideDescripción
This session will explore the linkages between economic activity and biodiversity loss and engage scientific, policy and economic experts in discussion around how our economic practices can be changed in order to reduce their impact on biodiversity loss. It will showcase recent research which evaluates the biodiversity impacts embodied within transactions across the global economy, highlighting the disconnect between the location of consumption and the upstream ecosystem impacts of that consumption. While specific case studies will be used to illustrate these complex linkages, the scope of the discussion will be global, covering all economic sectors and industries.
