DESCRIPTION:This panel discussion will explore how biodiversity science ca
 n better inform decisions in business\, finance\, government and other bod
 ies.\n\nThe panel will examine:\n\n• What biodiversity science can curre
 ntly say about state and trends\, and which dimensions genuinely matter fo
 r decision-making across marine and terrestrial ecosystems.\n• How to na
 vigate proliferating metrics and frameworks (TNFD\, SBTN\, national indica
 tors\, emerging biodiversity credits).\n• Where scientific frontiers lie
 : from genomics and AI-enabled monitoring to functional trait metrics\, pl
 ural biodiversity knowledge and global synthetic indices.\n• How to ensu
 re that scientific advances directly support nature-positive trajectories 
 and do not inadvertently reinforce extractive forms of measurement or gove
 rnance.\n\nThe discussion will also consider how biodiversity metrics can 
 be developed in ways that respect the rights\, knowledge systems\, and gov
 ernance structures of Indigenous peoples (many of whom who are among the w
 orld’s most effective stewards of biodiversity).  \n\nSpeakers:\nProf Na
 thalie Seddon (Director\, Nature-based Solutions Initiative)\, Dr Elizabet
 h Boakes (RSPB Conservation Science Monitoring Team)\, Prof Andy Purvis (N
