Robust ESG data for biodiversity: towards a spatially-sensitive approach to Sustainable Finance

该项目旨在建立一个跨学科的专家和利益相关者社区，以发现和试点使用“可发现”的数据来构建一个可用的和科学严谨的生物多样性数据集。为实现这一目标，该项目将由牛津可持续金融集团（Oxford Sustainable Finance Group）与WCMC和Catapult合作，分四个关键阶段进行：第一阶段：网络建设；第二阶段：构建将生物多样性纳入ESG指标的稻草人；第三阶段：测试和修订稻草人；第四阶段：白皮书、后续步骤和能力建设。(2)生物多样性指标用例、现有数据和能力可用性及差距的概念说明；(3)一个经过测试的生物多样性金融数据库蓝图；(4)商定的下一步计划。

This project seeks to construct an interdisciplinary expert and stakeholder community to uncover and pilot using 'discoverable' data to construct a usable and scientifically rigorous biodiversity dataset. To achieve that, the project will be led by the Oxford Sustainable Finance Group, in partnership with WCMC and Catapult, in four key stages: Stage One: Network buildingStage Two: construction of a strawman for integrating biodiversity in ESG metricsStage Three: Testing and revising the strawmanStage Four: White Paper, Next Steps and Capacity Building The project will result in:(1) a community of committed stakeholders; (2) a concept note of use cases of biodiversity metrics, existing data and capacity availability and gaps; (3) a tested blueprint of what a biodiversity finance database would look like; (4) an agreed-upon plan of next steps forward.
