Description
A panel on what it takes to move nature onto the balance sheet. Legal architecture that grants ecosystems standing, marine-mammal and mangrove carbon science that quantifies previously invisible value, and sovereign frameworks that translate both into financeable instruments. The conversation examines where this work has crossed from advocacy into policy, where the measurement gaps still sit, and how institutional capital can participate without reproducing the extractive dynamics that created the gap in the first place.
