Biodiversity and natural capital
We depend on biodiversity and natural capital for living, doing business, and for our wellbeing. Biodiversity and nature are increasingly being recognised as critical for sustainability within business and a key part of climate management. They are however under threat from over exploitation, pollution, climate, invasive species, and changes in land use. Understanding and managing impacts and dependencies helps control efficiency and risk and can improve our natural environment.
The Biodiversity and Natural Capital Network is led by a Steering Group that draws together professionals across diverse sectors and disciplines. Their role is to oversee the delivery of an annual work programme of activities, including webinars, workshops, reports and support between members.
