Episode Synopsis

Our Team spoke to Dr. Peter Arcese from the Faculty of Forestry at The University of British Columbia to help understand what Biodiversity Credits are, how they work and how they link to the more traditional Carbon Credits.

Co-hosts Gaurav and Alyssa get Dr. Arcese's take on the inter-disciplinarity involved to make Biodiversity Credits a reality, and dig into the complex researcher-financier-policymaker nexus that this involves. This episode also gets into some of the global diplomacy that has been involved in the pursuit to cash in on conservation.

This episode is Part 2 in our Environment Policy series running parallel to COP 28.
