Contribute to IPBES’s external review of the business and biodiversity assessment by 17 September 2024

The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is an independent intergovernmental body established by States to strengthen the science-policy interface for biodiversity and ecosystem services for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, long-term human well-being and sustainable development.  

In 2019 IPBES kicked off a work program which includes a methodological assessment that is aimed at categorising how businesses depend on, and impact, biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people and identifying criteria and indicators for measuring that dependence and impact, also considering how such metrics can be integrated into other aspects of sustainability.
