The Impact Mitigation and Ecological Compansation Thematic Group aims to develop guidance around implementation of the mitigation hierarchy and ecological compensation. It will do this based on ongoing case study review of policy and practice regarding mitigation and compensation design, governance, financing and implementation, building upon significant existing experience and lessons learnt by numerous stakeholders. Ultimately, it aims to achieve ongoing improvement towards best-practice in application of the mitigation hierarchy, including identifying how to best link mitigation and compensation efforts to global and jurisdiction-level biodiversity targets, and to related environmental and social science-based targets such as zero deforestation, carbon neutrality, biodiversity net gain, land degradation neutrality, nature-based solutions, ecosystem-based adaptation, empowering of indigenous peoples and vulnerable groups, among others.
