The Global Biodiversity Standard: Public Consultation

Thank you for taking part in this consultation process about the Global Biodiversity Standard (the GBS Survey) conducted by Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) with support from consulting firm JS Global Advisory. The GBS Survey consists of 10 questions, each of which can be easily answered on a sliding scale from 0 to 10. Text boxes are provided should you wish to make any additional comments in response to each question. A concise summary of key features of the GBS, including the Assessment and Certification Scoring System, can be found here. Please take a few minutes to review this before completing the questionnaire.
 
We are inviting a large number of potential users, stakeholders and other interested parties to participate in the GBS Survey. These include experts in biodiversity and ecosystem restoration, leading organisations in the nature finance ecosystem (including carbon and biodiversity credit markets), financial and non-financial corporations, consultants and thought-leaders. The results of the survey will be used internally by the GBS partners to inform the further development of the GBS but may also be made public on an anonymized basis.     
 
The deadline for participating in the GBS Survey is 30 November 2023. We look forward to receiving your insights and feedback before then.
