Protecting biodiversity helps maintain ecosystem services that businesses in different sectors depend on. How can businesses take action to protect biodiversity and halt nature loss? What are small and medium-sized companies’ possibilities to incorporate nature-positivity in their business operations? How could financiers engage with their clients to raise ambition towards the Global Biodiversity Framework?
