Measurement can help us understand the state of nature and our impacts – but how do we turn that understanding into decisions about what to prioritise, who needs to act, and where action could make the greatest difference?

We’ll introduce how NATURE Impacts is approaching this challenge, followed by an interactive demonstration by Liam O’Connor exploring fair national contributions towards KMGBF targets.

Edward Pollard, Gavin Edwards and Cecil (Max) Haverkamp will then bring different perspectives, followed by audience discussion.
