Mistra BIOPATH

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

BIOPATH - Pathways for an Efficient Alignment of the Financial system with the Needs of Biodiversity, is a research program with a vision that the knowledge and innovations generated in BIOPATH are widely integrated into decision-making in industry and the financial system, thereby contributing to a transformative change that has turned the financial system into an important driver for halting and reversing the loss of biodiversity. BIOPATH aims to map, assess, co-develop and test existing and novel approaches for integration of biodiversity considerations into financial decision-making with our financial and industrial partners, and analyse the institutional and policy implications of potential transition pathways.
