How to preserve natural capital by recognizing its economic value

Nature is critical to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. The way nature is valued in political and economic decisions is both a key driver of the global biodiversity crisis and a vital opportunity to address it. The objective of the workshop is to start discussing among different stakehoders of the “value” of the biodiversity and how it can help the better climate adaptation implementation.
