The selection of biodiversity metrics is widely debated. The answer depends on the role the metrics are intended to play.
For decades, economic growth was seen as the ultimate marker of progress — but what if that model no longer fits the world we live in?
Invasive alien species (IAS) are among the most destructive yet overlooked drivers of biodiversity loss. Explore how IAS spread and how can one leverages trade exposure as a proxy for assessing IAS risks.
What do we mean by biodiversity-related risks? And how should corporates go about assessing current biodiversity risk exposure?
Emerging technologies are critical to tackling the biodiversity’s “data challenge.” Discover how Earth Observation (EO) and AI are revolutionizing biodiversity measurement, making analysis more accessible and scalable.
How easy it is for companies to meaningfully reduce their impacts & dependencies on biodiversity? How should one go about developing a robust, comprehensive nature strategy?
How can businesses set nature and biodiversity targets? Are we stuck with vague, qualitative goals, or can we leverage science-based objectives similar to the CO2 landscape?
Some argue that measuring biodiversity is too complex, claiming we are doomed to rely on qualitative frameworks. At darwin, we see things differently.
Reporting frameworks
For the first time, the CSRD requires companies to report their biodiversity impacts and dependencies, giving it the same importance as CO2 emissions. However, ESRS E4 is quite technical. In this article, we clarify what the standard covers and how businesses can navigate these new requirements.
The nature reporting market remains fragmented, but some corporate frameworks are quickly gaining momentum for biodiversity assessment. Let’s take a closer look at which ones are leading the way.
Definitions
The planetary boundary framework is highly valuable as it identifies key environmental limits, including biodiversity loss, within which humanity can safely operate, offering a science-based approach to sustainability and global resource management. Discover how we think about it at darwin.
