How do you align your biodiversity strategy with the UN's goals?

Natural Capital is the root of industrial capitalism, yet we are denuding the capacity of the planet to deliver these resources into what is an infinite-growth model. This must be addressed by a Steady-state ecological compact, shifting our priorities into regenerative and circular modalities of progress. The illusion that a 'green economy' is on the horizon has been debunked by various astute economists, and supply-chains now buckle under the strain of our vaunted aspirations to continue our consumptive ways. Forever chemicals (PFAS) have been found in rainwater across the USA and elsewhere around the globe. It is our task to ensure robust impact investment and ecological-economics take the place of the longstanding zero-sum game.

The extent to which projects for land-based / marine construction affect biodiversity depends on the project scale, the used materials, the realization process and the life-cycle effects. To analyze and measure a project's impact on ecosystems, the following fields are involved: - resource use & planetary boundaries, - landscape ecology & biogeography, - marine ecology & freshwater resources, - atmospheric ecology & air quality, - materials & chemical compounds. The consulting team will comprise an ecologist - next to additional environmental specialists such as an ornithologist, zoologist, marine biologist, hydrologist, oceanographer, environmental chemist, foodchain specialist, agriculture/aquaculture/forestry/soil scientist or geologist.

Hybrid Value Chain development now looms large in the social imagination among those who see the limits to growth we confront. It isn't a joke, this time of profoundly shifting priorities, but a grave matter of existential significance that may threaten our species as a whole. Human exceptionalism flies in the face of our interdependence with ALL LIFE, since we do not exist in a bubble and cannot replace natural capital with industrial solutions like lab-grown fruits & meat. The absurdity of knowledge is that it suggests there are no limits to what we can 'achieve' through scientific advances. However, it is the Horizontal Value Chain that makes the economy vibrant, not the converse equation. Discovering this is the secret to survival.

One thing I've found helpful is being true to your cause. It is very important to commit to protecting Biodiversity as it ultimately makes business sense. Treating it as a check box for the next thing harms nature, makes organisms go extinct and deprives us as a people from getting any benefit form these. Ultimately, this affects your business and society in the long run. If you're wondering why Biodiversity is important, here's one example. Scientists rely on different varieties of crops to improve mainstream varieties. If we lose the lesser known varieties, which tend to be drought resistant etc, we lose our ability to keep improving our crops, which places our food supply in danger.
