The EU Business & Biodiversity Platform and the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation invite you to the official launch of the 5th edition of the Biodiversity Measurement Approaches Guide.
First developed in 2020, the Guide helps financial institutions identify and select suitable approaches for assessing biodiversity impacts and dependencies associated with financing and investment activities. As biodiversity assessment methodologies continue to evolve rapidly, the Guide serves as a practical resource for navigating the growing landscape of nature-related metrics, tools and data.
