Demand for nature-related data is surging. The Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) requires governments to begin reporting their implementation of its goals from 2024. This demands high-quality data on the state of Biodiversity at a national level, while also reflecting the complicated character of ecosystems at a local level.

In the global push to hit the $200 billion annual target for biodiversity by 2030, set by Target 19 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), the stakes couldn’t be higher. Success means big wins—better biodiversity protection, restored ecosystems, boosted GDP, new jobs, and reduced CO2. To make this happen, it’s key to align National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs)—which help governments meet their national GBF targets—with companies and financial institutions that are adopting nature strategies and exploring market-based investments. Examples like England’s Biodiversity Net Gain, Colombia’s biodiversity credits, and U.S. mitigation banks, along with voluntary nature-based markets, show that alignment and integration are possible. These models can create scalable, repeatable solutions to help meet Target 19. #Biodiversity #naturefinance #revenuesfornature #naturemarkets #NBSAPs #Sustainablefinance #sustainability #KunmingMontreal #COP16 https://lnkd.in/ewCaGV3i Rodrigo Cassola, Helen Avery, Laurène Aubert, Amy Allan, Jessica Smith, Romie Goedicke den Hertog, Marco Arlaud, Gaurav Gupta, Tony Juniper, Francisco Gomez, Timothy Male, Abyd Karmali, Bernardo Strassburg Irina Likhachova, United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), BIOFIN - Biodiversity Finance Initiative, UNEP-WCMC, Sustainable Markets Initiative, Green Finance Institute, Environmental Policy Innovation Center

Biodiversity and business go hand in hand. From a reliance on natural resources to more than half of the world's GDP being reliant on nature, businesses need biodiversity. That's where Edie's new and informative guide, 'Biodiversity and business' comes in. With the implementation of the double materiality principle in the EU's Sustainability Reporting Standards, it's estimated that 50,000 businesses will now need to measure and evaluate the environmental consequences of their value chain. This means disclosing not only the positive and negative impact on nature but the impact any nature-related disruptions or losses will have on your company finances. Edie's free guide delves into: 💡 The relationship between biodiversity and business 💡 The operational challenges, opportunities 💡 The Global Biodiversity Treaty 💡 Strategies to reverse nature loss and restore natural habitats You can access the full guide in the comments below. #biodiversity #business #sustainabilityreporting

📣 There's a New Biodiversity Index 🌱 Biodiversity is often a key metric for clients when selecting sustainable investments. Yes, it is difficult to find an investment offering that tracks biodiversity metrics. The S&P Dow Jones Indices has announced two new indices. The S&P 500 Biodiversity Index and S&P Global LargeMidCap Biodiversity Index focus on integrating sustainability factors like biodiversity, UN SDGs, and climate change. Companies are selected and weighted based on: 👉alignment with environmental objectives 👉S&P Global Sustainable’s Nature index 👉Biodiversity Risk dataset The indices aim for reduced ecosystem impact intensity, limited significant land use, and alignment with specific SDGs. At SAVVY we use the SDGs to allow investors to understand their investments, jargon free! Looking forward to seeing more and more diversity in sustainable investment offerings, giving investors more choice beyond the standard "sustainable" option.
