There is a compelling business case for the sustainable management of biodiversity and nature. To successfully manage biodiversity, businesses first need to understand what biodiversity is and how to measure biodiversity.
The World Economic Forums’ Future of Nature and Business report identifies business opportunities in protecting and restoring nature over the next decade could amount to $10 trillion each year, spawning millions of new jobs in the process.
On the flipside, almost a million species are at risk of extinction, and biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation are spiralling us towards a sixth mass extinction. Biodiversity loss also undermines our ability to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
With serious ecological, economic and social consequences, it’s imperative that all sectors of society scale rapid action and collaborate towards both protecting and enhancing nature.
The business sector has an important role to play in how biodiversity is managed. Businesses rely on and impact biodiversity and nature, and can influence and partner with organisations connected to their entire supply chains and value chains to create transformative and accelerated action for nature.
