On 23 June Finance@Biodiversity Community members shared solutions for positive biodiversity impact through equity, venture capital and banking

The Finance@Biodiversity Community convened in June to share views on creating Positive Biodiversity Impacts in an online workshop, focusing on how the solutions work and opportunities for scaling impact.

During the workshop, after an introduction by the European Commission’s Coordinator of the EU Business@Biodiversity Platform on latest Commission’s updates, invited speakers from Aviva Investors, Planet A Ventures, and eco.business Fund shared how they plan to have a positive impact on biodiversity through their initiatives. The workshop also had breakout sessions with the participants concluding that improvement of measuring positive biodiversity impact and a suitable enabling regulatory environment would help scaling up positive impact for business and biodiversity.

These two scaling opportunities will be central in the two upcoming Finance@Biodiversity Community workshops. The slides presented and the summary of the workshop are now available.
