Spotlight on Biodiversity [S6, E3] - a podcast by Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen

Biodiversity is crucial for our planet’s food security, climate resilience, supply chains, and our economy. Half of global GDP relies on nature. Governments are scrambling to create policies on conservation – is it too little too late? 

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, including the variety of species, ecosystems, and genetic diversity. It has growing economic value as most industries rely on healthy ecosystems. Companies are paying closer attention to biodiversity and environmental, social, and governance initiatives have become mainstream. After decades of inaction, international agreements and regulations are slowly becoming building blocks to a more sustainable world. Will this slow building of a protective wall suffice?

Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Collin O’Mara, CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic examines strategies to unlock financing for conservation and nature-based solutions.
