Ben Jobson, IBAT Programme Officer, presents an overview of STAR, and provides details on how organisations can calculate STAR scores from the site to the portfolio and supply chain level.
The Species Threat Abatement and Restoration Metric (STAR) is a new metric, available through the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT), that easily allows organisations to identify areas where actions to abate threats or restore habitat can help reduce species extinction risk and contribute to conservation targets. STAR supports the establishment of science-based targets for species biodiversity, and corporate commitments to nature positive action, and was introduced as an illustrative metric in the latest release of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Beta Framework.
This session was moderated by Cameron Jones, ASI Director of Assurance.
