#Biodiversity. The rich fabric woven by millions of species and their interactions. Food, air, climate, economies and civilization itself depend on it. You can think of biodiversity as the secret sauce behind all healthy ecosystems, keeping them balanced and resilient. In turn, healthy habitats make our lives livable. 💧Forests filter water through their roots and oysters clean water with their gills. 🌊 Coral reefs and coastal ecosystems absorb the force of storm surges and waves, protecting coastal communities. 🌱 Tropical rainforests, wetlands and mangroves are some of the natural ecosystems that soak up a third of the world’s climate-changing emissions every year. Protecting biodiversity means protecting ourselves, as we are connected to everything living or that has ever lived on this planet. Join us in celebrating and safeguarding the incredible variety of life on Earth. Curious about how you can help? 👉 https://nature.ly/3XZKVSb via The Nature Conservancy

We must begin to see nature as a key asset on our balance sheets.’ Karen Sack explains how companies can build resilience by investing in nature. World Economic Forum #investinnature #naturalassets #bluebellindex #letsact

The global hydrological cycle underpins and shapes our economies at every level. Food systems, industries, energy production, sanitation, and even data centers all depend on a steady and reliable water supply. However, today's economic, industrial, and societal demands are pushing us beyond planetary boundaries, leading to significant changes in the water cycle. These changes are increasing uncertainty in rainfall patterns and depleting freshwater resources, creating interconnected challenges worldwide. Many economic sectors are already facing difficulties due to declining freshwater availability. The Global Commission on the Economics of Water recently published a pivotal report, Economics of Water, highlighting key actions needed to secure stable water supplies for future generations. #water #food #ESG #naturalassets #nature

What Does It Mean to Treat Nature as an Asset Class? Nature as an asset class involves recognizing and assigning economic value to ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources. Traditionally, nature has been viewed as a resource to exploit, but this concept shifts the narrative toward preservation, regeneration, and responsible use. Whether it’s forests, wetlands, or carbon sinks, nature is becoming an essential component of financial decision-making. These natural assets are now being evaluated in terms of their ability to provide essential services, such as carbon sequestration, water purification, or flood control. #Nature #ESG #Sustainability #bluebellindex

🌍 Can businesses and governments reverse nature loss at #COP16Colombia? The key to tackling the nature crisis lies in collaboration and integration. Governments and businesses must build on early progress for lasting change, driving the delivery of the #KMGBF. Bold leadership and partnership in Cali can spark a new era of nature-positive action. ✨ World Economic Forum https://lnkd.in/e3BYcYPd

#Earth exceeds safe limits! The inaugural Planetary Health Check Report, led by PIK - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, issues a red alert. Planetary Boundaries Science #PBScience defines safe limits for critical Earth system processes to sustain life support systems. Breaching boundaries like #ClimateChange and #Biosphere Integrity risks irreversible damage. Six processes, including change on #Climate, #Land Systems and #Freshwater, have breached safe levels. #Ocean Acidification is nearing it's limit, while others 2 (Atmospheric Aerosol Loading and #Ozone Depletion) remain within the Safe Operating Zone.

🌱 A new market in nature credits needs the best start possible. As the world’s attention shifts to #COP16 next week, there’s renewed focus on the potential for biodiversity credits to emerge as one of the tools needed to mobilize finance to nature. In a recent article on Devex, framing a role for biodiversity credits that could see them ‘reshaping the way we value nature’, Marcos Neto, the UNDP Assistant Secretary General and Director of Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) said “We think that having a biodiversity credit market is part of what needs to happen to mobilize the necessary finances for the global biodiversity framework.” He added that “It’s not a silver bullet … it has to be set up, and with a lot of integrity.” BCA looks forward to actively engaging with stakeholders and partners next week. Across a series of co-hosted and hosted events and side-events, BCA aims to provide further guidance and assistance in steering the development of a market in which biodiversity credits can fulfil their inherent potential to bring about positive outcomes for nature and people.
