Description
This report aims to enable a better understanding of the business sectors1 and financial mechanisms at risk from the loss of biodiversity and lay the groundwork for biodiversity-related target-setting by the finance sector. It sets out an initial approach to enable financial institutions to set evidence-based biodiversity targets aligned with international policy developments. The approach detailed in this report combines information from scientific literature and key authoritative sources, as well as the knowledge base on the impacts and dependencies of sectors on nature developed for the ENCORE tool (Exploring Natural Capital Opportunities, Risks and Exposure), to identify a set of priority sectors for biodiversity-related target setting.
