I'm heading off to Lincoln for the NBS conference where I'll be telling the story of the emergence of the nature positive movement as seen through Biodiversify's eyes. As with so many things the story of how events unfold dictate the shape they eventually take, so the narrative that links it all together is critical context for those trying to predict where the sector will go. For example, the whole idea of biodiversity credits might not have emerged if we hadn't all been thinking about biodiversity net gain and carbon credits. If instead we'd recently gone through the health and safety movement of the 90s and early 2000s we might be talking more about standardising supply chain practices, defining unacceptable behaviour and protecting whistle blowers. Understanding narrative can help us see past the detailed frameworks to put ourselves in the shoes of the multifaceted people behind them who, just like everyone else, bring their preconceptions, biases, and passions to work. This in turn can help us avoid making our own mistakes by projecting our own views into this hyper dynamic emerging market. If that doesn't interest you then come anyway to watch me get vocally opinionated about the issues inherent in the concept of biodiversity credits at an event that literally has the term in its name... https://lnkd.in/eg_JSueN
