Expo City Dubai’s open innovation campus serves as a global capital for planetary solutions. This session will highlight the role of Indigenous people, specifically the M?ori people, in safeguarding the health of nature, blue and green, flora and fauna. The discussion will focus on how the cultural values and philosophy of Indigenous people towards nature also helps to mitigate many of the concerns that afflict investors in the nature market. Those concerns are impeding the acceleration of a robust market that is needed to address climate change and biodiversity loss.
