SCB Policy Priority # 5: Investment and Procurement
One of the best sources of information and
opportunities to bring conservation biology
and practice to investment circles is through
the Finance Initiative of the United Nations
Environment Program (UNEP). Their
April/May Newsletter is reprinted on the website.
Highlights include a section on Climate
Change and an entry on the first biodiversity
work stream meeting. SCB has been invited to
participate in that UNEP-FI work stream and expects to become more involved shortly.
SCB Members who would like to join the
Investment/Procurement Policy Team should

UNEP FI Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services
Inaugural Workshop: 5 April 2007, London
Some 30 delegates representing financial institutions,
inter-governmental organisations as
well as NGOs met at a workshop organised by
UNEP FI at KPMG's offices in London. The
workshop gave rise to some vibrant discussions
around the theme of financial sector engagement
in biodiversity and ecosystem services.
The outcomes of the workshop will
provide concrete steps forward for UNEP FI in
mapping out a clear path for achieving the
Workstream’s deliverables in 2007.
