This session provides three diverse yet aligned perspectives focusing on design, policy, and performance-based metrics to address the biodiversity crisis and increase our collective knowledge.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Learn the importance of biological diversity for evolving and maintaining life-sustaining biosphere systems.

  • Hear multiple perspectives and inspiring stories for addressing the biodiversity crisis and implementing nature-positive designs.
  • Learn how the SITES Rating System addresses biodiversity on development projects.
