Choosing actions for organisational biodiversity strategies

To co-incide with COP17 in October 2026, this new briefing offers help to businesses looking for ways to develop effective biodiversity strategies.

While there are conceptual and practical challenges in devising businesses’ action for nature, the severity of the biodiversity crisis demands urgent and effective action.

The guidance provided in this briefing clarifies the types of positive actions that can enhance corporate accountability and ambition; taking responses beyond the mitigation of direct impacts and to reduce uncertainties about impacts and to increase ambition for biodiversity protection and recovery.

The authors hope that businesses can apply the typology and principles in the briefing to define and implement a broad spectrum of actions that will contribute to local, national and global nature-positive goals.
