🌍 Biodiversity in Business: From Compliance to Net Positive 🌍 With biodiversity facing increasing threats, 2024 marks another pivotal year for businesses to mainstream biodiversity into their management practices and strategy development. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) continue to set critical goals for conservation, and the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) provides a framework and roadmap for action through private sector investment. As we strive for net positivity, businesses must mitigate risks and identify new opportunities to contribute to a more sustainable future. In the UN Decade of Restoration, we all have a role to play in achieving a net-positive impact. Key considerations: The 🌱 Biodiversity crisis remains a massive threat, posing an increasing risk towards business and societal stability. The 🌱 GBF has established goals and targets to halt biodiversity loss, with COP16 aiming to translate the biodiversity goals and targets into more concrete action to support greater country conservation objectives. 🌱 The TNFD framework enables companies to understand, manage and disclose nature-related risks, paving the way for better alignment with global sustainability goals. Digby Wells Environmental can guide your business beyond compliance, helping you implement strategies that align with the GBF and TNFD, ensuring a positive impact on biodiversity and long-term resilience. 🌿 Let's move beyond compliance toward a net-positive future.
