Imagine if Europe had a giant, shared health check for nature, tracking everything from soil to forests in one place. This effort connects scientists and policymakers to create a guidebook for how businesses can use nature to solve problems. It's like building a map that shows companies where they depend on nature and how to protect it to avoid risks.
Companies struggle to quantify their impact on nature and lack a standardized way to integrate biodiversity value into their financial balance sheets.
A guide on the R&I landscape for business and biodiversity, operational guidance for monitoring, and a roadmap for using new technologies in biodiversity tracking.
If you are a crop producer dealing with declining soil health and pollinator loss — this project developed biodiversity monitoring schemes and soil pilots that provide data to restore land productivity.
If you are an investment fund dealing with the difficulty of pricing natural risks — this project developed methodologies to value ecosystem services and assess how businesses depend on biodiversity.
If you are a construction firm dealing with strict urban greening regulations — this project developed a knowledge base for deploying Nature-based Solutions to meet societal challenges.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or commercial costs are mentioned as the project is a co-funded partnership focused on research and policy support.
The project is currently in the stage of launching pilots for soil and governance and producing operational guidance, meaning it is moving toward scale but not yet fully industrial.
Based on available project data, the project emphasizes open science and shared strategies, though specific licensing terms for private sector tools are not detailed.
It directly supports the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030, helping companies align with European recovery paths for nature.
The project runs from 2021-10-01 to 2028-09-30, indicating a long-term development and monitoring cycle.
The consortium is massive and policy-heavy, featuring 81 partners across 38 countries. However, it is heavily skewed toward research and public administration, with 63 'Other' organizations and 16 research entities, while only 1 industry partner is listed. This indicates the project is primarily a top-down policy and science initiative rather than a commercial product development venture.
