Mainstreaming Biodiversity into Renewable Power Infrastructure
Detalles
| As countries step up climate action, they face the challenge of scaling up renewable energy while tackling biodiversity loss. Moving away from fossil fuels can reduce climate pressure on biodiversity, but it comes with its own risks. If not carefully managed, the expansion of renewable energy could endanger biodiversity. This report synthesizes data on the biodiversity impact of renewable energy infrastructure, focusing on solar, wind energy, and power lines. It identifies opportunities to integrate biodiversity into energy sector planning and policy, in order to achieve better outcomes for nature and climate. Drawing on good practices from around the world, the report provides governments with recommendations to align the expansion of renewable energy with biodiversity goals. |
