JOIN US IN ANTIGUA
MAY 27-30th, 2024
for two exciting events at the 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States with the Government of Antigua & Barbuda and our partners at the Main Conference Venue
Assigning Cross Sector Values to Nature-Based-Interventions and Solutions for the Oceans and Specifically for SIDS
Wednesday, May 29th, 2024: 2:00-3:30 PM
Room 10
Nature-based solutions (NBS) and technological advances are becoming more important globally for various sectors, this panel and dialogue focuses on how we should appropriately value the benefits from NBS and the resulting increase in biodiversity, economic returns and resilience (risk reduction and vulnerability reduction) for SIDS. Can we develop cross-sector metrics that are meaningful and what are they? Scientists typically look for specific metrics such as the biomass created or restored, but the private sector may look to return on investment and protection of financial investment, while Governments focus on SDGs and NDCs. But rarely do all of the sectors come together to dialogue about what is important and where they can find common ground. The goals of this panel are to facilitate the conversation around how to value nature based solutions, technology, and interventions, and to know when and how to invest in them in order to revitalize SIDS economy while maintaining critical biodiversity and ecosystems and building resilience. This side event brings together scientists, industry, and government. Participants include: Hon Prime Minister Gaston Browne, Clement Antonio, Deborah Brosnan, Alanna Waldman Carrow, and David Millar.
