ECNC Business and Biodiversity Programme
This programme of the European Centre for Nature Conservation mainstreams nature and biodiversity concerns into economic sector’s policies and operations. Economic activity is one of major drivers of the biodiversity loss; and Europe is still losing biodiversity at an alarming rate. Practically all businesses have an impact on biodiversity, either through their supply chain or through investments they make. ECNC promotes the practical integration of biodiversity issues in the financial and economic sectors and facilitates investment in biodiversity-related business. ECNC also promotes economic thinking in the biodiversity sector and addresses the market-based approach to conservation and viable use of biodiversity and its ecosystem services.
