Green Road to Cali Series (Part 1): Playbook for Nature-Positive Infrastructure Development

Green Road to Cali Series (Part 1): Playbook for Nature-Positive Infrastructure Development
28 June 2024
The Asian Development Bank (ADB), led by the ADB Environment Group and the Procurement, Portfolio, and Financial Management Department (PPFD), organized a webinar on the Playbook for Nature-Positive Infrastructure Development on 28 June 2024, Friday, at 4:00 p.m. (GMT+8/Manila time).
The playbook was a strategic guide jointly developed by WWF, the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), and AECOM, a global consulting engineering firm. It was designed to support the transformation of infrastructure to follow a nature-positive approach by showcasing solutions across a range of sectors and landscapes.
The first iteration of the playbook was launched in September 2023, and the next iteration was set to include additional Asia-specific case studies and address opportunities and barriers to integrating nature-positive approaches into the procurement of infrastructure. This upcoming version was supported by the Asia's Linear Infrastructure safeGuarding Nature (ALIGN) Project, which was funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
This webinar was the first in a four-part series called the “Green Road to Cali,” a knowledge-sharing series that would explore the latest developments in biodiversity conservation and nature-based solutions leading up to the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) that would be held in Cali, Colombia from 21 October to 1 November 2024. Organized by the Environment Group under the Climate Change and Sustainable Development department at ADB, these webinars were designed to provide valuable insights and facilitate discussions on advancing environmental sustainability. The topics for the upcoming webinars in the series were to be announced shortly.
