Human flourishing depends on biodiversity: the animals, plants, and other living organisms whose functions make Earth habitable and whose existence holds intrinsic value. New data and applications make this an exciting moment to identify conservation solutions and set priorities for advancing biodiversity measurement. Doing so will enable more effective conservation of the wildlife on which people depend.
The World Bank's Development Impact Group (DIME), Development Data Group (DECDG), Development Research Group (DECRG), the Institute for Economic Development and the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) are excited to explore this topic at our 11th annual Measuring Development (MeasureDev) Conference, “Biodiversity on Land and at Sea.”
MeasureDev 2025 will feature presentations that span the biodiversity measurement universe: from efforts to improve and expand available data, to innovative methods for estimating the causal effects of conservation policies. The event will bring together policymakers, researchers, and practitioners who are shaping the future of biodiversity conservation and its integration into sustainable development strategies.
