SUMMARY:CSIRO x BHP - Measuring Nature Outcomes 2026
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking valuable global data for monitoring practices associated with responsible land management \nOver the past decade awareness has grown that organisations must better understand\, manage and report their interactions with nature. While significant progress has been made in developing nature-related reporting frameworks and standards\, a persistent challenge remains: how can organisations use readily available\, open access nature-related data to evaluate outcomes of land management activities in a transparent\, consistent and robust manner? CSIRO and BHP invite you to attend an upcoming webinar exploring our development of a practical and transparent approach to addressing this challenge. \nThe webinar will showcase recent research conducted by CSIRO in collaboration with BHP to advance natural capital measurement\, management and reporting through the development of practical methods. These methods can be applied consistently across industries\, ecosystems and geographies.\nParticipants will hear how the project team have systematically reviewed readily available\, open access global data to assess its use for nature related monitoring and have worked to: \n\ndevelop benchmarks for over 60 variables relevant to terrestrial ecosystem functional groups globally\, providing 2020 baselines for ongoing assessment and monitoring\,\nmap how these variables relate to ecosystem condition typology recommended by SEEA EA\,\ndevelop a Quality Hectare (Qha) index to support the monitoring and assessment of responsible land management practices across geographies and jurisdictions\, and\nrecommend future directions to support broader uptake by industry.\n\nThe webinar is intended to support industry\, regulators\, environmental bodies and the finance sector. It will explore how organisations can use readily available environmental datasets to support the tracking of stewardship outcomes over time in a transparent and globally consistent manner.
