 Finance for Biodiversity Foundation publishes a short paper translating the outcomes of the IPBES Business & Biodiversity Assessment for financial institutions, to provide support to our community in implementing its recommended next steps for nature action.

FfB Foundation welcomes the launch of the IPBES Business and Biodiversity Assessment Report, a landmark report developed by more than 80 experts synthesising for the first time the global evidence base on how businesses impact and depend on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people. 

For decades, warnings of ecosystem collapse were treated as the domain of activists and specialized scientists. But as of late January 2026, the conversation has fundamentally shifted with the UK Government’s Nature Security Assessment. The collapse of global ecosystems is a "grade-A" risk to national security and, by extension, the global financial system.
