Wind and solar energy and nature: a new suite of IUCN publications
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), in collaboration with The Biodiversity Consultancy (TBC), have led a project with four global NGOs and five energy developers to produce a new suite of guidance documents on key topics for biodiversity and wind and solar energy development. This project follows an initial phase of work that developed the guidance on ‘Mitigating biodiversity impacts associated with solar and wind energy development’.
This webinar series aims to showcase these new publications along with expert panellists across the following topics:
Session 1 - Cumulative Impact Assessment and Spatial Planning: 6ᵗʰ March 2025
Session 2 - Biodiversity Enhancement: 13ᵗʰ March 2025
Session 3 – Responsible Sourcing and Biodiversity: 20ᵗʰ March 2025
