Enhancing Private Sector Understanding of Risk Exposure from Biodiversity Loss

Descriptions

1.Project Aims The project seeks to provide a powerful stimulus in transforming organisational commitments to take meaningful action on drivers of biodiversity loss. The final project outputs must make the impacts from biodiversity loss to business productivity more visible and tangible for business managers, and facilitate communication of these risks to decision makers at different levels within organisations. The project aims to: identify the risks and costs to business associated with impacts from biodiversity loss; demonstrate the benefits to business that result from sustainable biodiversity management practices; and highlight how business managers can identify and account for risks and dependencies on biodiversity. The final project outputs will help JNCC, and the wider research and business community, identify how scientific expertise and knowledge can help the private sector (and other organisations) address business critical challenges presented by biodiversity loss.
