Challenges and opportunities for implementing No Net Loss / Net Positive Impact (NNL/NPI) strategies

Why attend
This session is for anyone interested in how business can contribute to a more sustainable future. The format is panel discussion introducing the concepts behind the mitigation hierarchy and No Net Loss/ Net Positive Impact in biodiversity, and reflecting on the progress made over the last decade.
HideDescription
The session will act as a taster and introduction to a longer and more technical session in the Business and Nature Hub in the afternoon (15:30-17:00). The afternoon session will include a series of substantial presentations reflecting on recent experiences of the implementation of No Net Loss/Net Positive Impact strategies and be a forum for sharing detail of what worked and what has not. This session will take a broader view reflecting on the evolution of the concept of ecological compensation from the early days of the development of the mitigation hierarchy to where we are today. We will address the approach openly and consider the future direction of travel of efforts to mitigate the biodiversity impacts of development.
