Nature value markets at the core of local nature work
As part of Nature Forum, Climate Leadership Coalition, Association of Finnish Cities and Municipalities and the BOOST and MUST research projects funded by the Strategic Research Council (SRC) are organizing a parallel session titled “Nature Value Markets at the Core of Local Nature Work.” This session will explore what the development of nature value markets and ecological compensation means for municipalities and urban regions, and what kind of collaboration is needed between municipalities and businesses. The session brings together experts, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss how cities and companies can jointly advance impactful nature work and accelerate the emergence of nature value markets.
The session will be held in Finnish and is moderated by Tuuli Kaskinen, CEO of Climate Leadership Coalition.
