About Seminar 'Biodiversity & Energy Transition'

How can the impact that companies have on biodiversity be made measurable and tangible? What active role can investors play in countering biodiversity loss? What is the case for biodiversity as an asset?

How to deal with the negative impact of the energy transition (extraction of rare materials, the dependency on other countries)? How to invest in the energy transition (private versus public markets, equity versus debt, investing in existing versus new technologies)?
