Overview

Biodiversity loss and renewable energy deployment are on a collision course. A net-zero transition that ignores its ecological footprint trades one planetary crisis for another. This book provides the analytical framework for an energy transition that is both decarbonized and nature-positive. - Understand the ecological footprint of solar, wind, hydropower, and transmission infrastructure across full lifecycles and upstream supply chains - Analyze international biodiversity frameworks-the Kunming-Montreal GBF, EU Taxonomy, and TNFD-and their direct implications for the energy sector - Discover spatial planning methodologies for identifying low-conflict renewable energy zones that avoid biodiversity-sensitive landscapes - Evaluate nature-based solutions integrated into energy infrastructure, from pollinator-friendly solar to ecological corridor management and constructed wetlands - Examine critical mineral supply chains and responsible sourcing frameworks for lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements - Interpret nature-related financial disclosure requirements, green bond standards, and sustainable finance instruments for nature-positive investment - Assess community rights, Indigenous knowledge integration, and benefit-sharing governance for equitable and ecologically durable transitions - Discover biodiversity monitoring metrics, mandatory disclosure regimes, and accountability mechanisms that guard against ecological greenwashing Designed for energy professionals, sustainability analysts, policy practitioners, and institutional investors operating at the intersection of decarbonization and biodiversity commitments. Nature-positive is not optional-this book shows what it demands and how to deliver it.
