Biodiversity the new CO2 for the financial system

It is time to count on nature. What can business do for biodiversity? In this one hour online panel conversation in Swedish, leading researchers in Economics, Ecology and Human Geography outline the necessary challenges for the financial system in terms of biodiversity. In recent years, the awareness of sustainability issues has increased significantly in policy making, in business and the financial market. The focus has been almost entirely on the climate and on reducing CO2 emissions. Now, there is a clear trend where other values ​​such as biological diversity and the impact of business on nature are increasingly being noticed.
