The loss of biological diversity threatens the very foundations of our society, posing risks to food security, our health, and businesses.

According to upcoming regulations and strategies in the EU to promote biodiversity, there will be requirements to invest in nature and accelerate Nature-based Solutions (NbS). This is a new investment area and will require more robustness through qualified assessments based on the IUCN Global Standard™ for NbS and a marketplace for solutions and investors.
