Measurable mechanism required to turn ‘Nature Positive’ into action
Today 18:06Key points summarised by AI
Transforming the 'Nature Positive' vision—which aims to restore and integrate nature into all decision-making—into tangible action requires robust, measurable mechanisms and tools to drive investable outcomes.
Financial leaders emphasize the critical need for simplified, trustworthy Natural Capital measurement and accounting systems to effectively direct capital towards nature-based investments, distinguishing genuine efforts from greenwashing.
Collaborative initiatives, such as the World Bank's partnership to develop Natural Capital frameworks and calls for financial institutions to establish nature as a new asset class, are crucial for advancing nature-positive finance.
Government action includes accelerating the Biodiversity Act to ensure fair resource use, protect biological assets, and facilitate international agreements like the Nagoya Protocol, underscoring the demand for accurate biodiversity measurement.
Malaysia awarded takraw title after Thailand protest referee’s call
Today 18:58Key points summarised by AI
Thailand lost the Sepak Takraw World Championship final to Malaysia by default after protesting a controversial referee's call that disallowed a crucial point.
The dispute arose when a Thai player's apparent winning point was overturned for a centre-line violation, despite VAR footage reportedly indicating no foul, leading to the Thai team walking off the court.
Thai officials, including manager Auychai Srisuwan, deemed the decision "unfair" and stated their walk-off was a protest against an unjust ruling, not a concession of defeat.
The International Sepaktakraw Federation defended the referee's decision and the subsequent disqualification, asserting the call was correct and the play was not eligible for video challenge under current rules.
