Thanks Li Li, agreed this component of the triangle is definitely the most challenging to assess. We’re working with a diverse group of stakeholders to see how we can derive appropriate metrics and indicators to capture what we mean by nature as culture without losing the intangible aspects. I think being able to use narratives to ensure that the full complexity of perspectives is captured and then moving to quantification and modelling is an important step. In terms of GBF I think the key message is to ensure that we acknowelge the diversity of value perspectives that people have for nature- not just instrumental- so as to be able to ensure that these desires are captured in the implementation- and that we’re able as best we can to capture a full range of perspectives, especially those of more marginalised groups.
