Join us for a short presentation followed by a networking event to officially launch The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) at the IUCN Pavilion during COP-16. TGBS offers an innovative framework for assessing and certifying biodiversity outcomes in restoration projects, addressing the urgent need for robust and transparent biodiversity measures as nature-based solutions gain momentum globally.

During the presentation, learn how TGBS empowers investors, businesses, and policymakers to achieve biodiversity goals by integrating restoration best practices, stakeholder engagement and adaptive management practices. The session will also showcase its relevance for reporting against key biodiversity targets and providing assurance about biodiversity impacts.

Following the presentation, the networking event provides an opportunity to connect with key speakers, including those who have successfully applied TGBS across diverse ecosystems and land management types. Engage in discussions to explore how TGBS aligns with international frameworks, contributing to the global biodiversity agenda. This event is a chance to gain insights into how TGBS sets new benchmarks for restoration, offering a credible pathway for projects committed to delivering measurable biodiversity benefits in the critical decade ahead. Join us to be part of this transformative movement toward biodiversity-positive initiatives.
