A scoping study to assess exposure of financial institutions to biodiversity business risks and identifying options for business opportunities Mulder, Ivo While the business case for climate change is now widely recognized, the business case for biodiversity has only to a limited extent been addressed. “Biodiversity”, or the ecosystem services that support our way of life, are becoming the next challenge for financial institutions. This report focuses on the specific implications of exposure to biodiversity business risks for the commercial banking sector, asset managers and investors, and (re)insurance firms. It provides an overview of available tools and best management practices to enable financial institutions to mitigate any adverse impacts proactively. The report also identifies a number of biodiversity business opportunities for financial institutions that make both financial as well as conservation sense. A number of recommendations are presented to the financial sector, as well as to other stakeholders, such as NGOs, governments and multilateral institutions on how to further build and communicate the business case for biodiversity to the financial community.

Uno de los ejes para el desarrollo de estos seminarios ha sido partir del supuesto de que en todas las culturas, las mujeres y los hombres establecen relaciones muy distintas, no sólo con el resto de la sociedad, sino también con sus territorios y recursos, o con su biodiversidad. Se articula en torno a cinco ejes temáticos: participación política y ambiental, reconfiguraciones territoriales, conocimientos tradicionales y biodiversidad, alternativas desde lo local y, políticas globales y sus efectos locales. Estos temas se desarrollan a lo largo de 28 textos, desde la perspectiva indígena y no indígena, los cuales presentan las voces, demandas, situaciones y propuestas de las mujeres de 19 pueblos indígenas, habitantes de 11 países latinoamericanos.

IUCN 1500 B Also available in PDF format at: www.iucn.org/dbtw-wpd/edocs/2006-026.pdf 1 Towards European Biodiversity Monitoring: Assessment, Monitoring and Reporting of Conservation Status of European Habitats and Species The latest IUCN Red List shows that a third of all amphibians, one in eight birds and a quarter of all mammals are under threat globally. Action is needed at the international level and the EU has taken a strategic approach across Europe, by implementing the Birds and Habitats Directives. The Directives are the most significant steps taken so far by the EU to meet its own target of “halting the loss of biodiversity by 2010”. Monitoring, assessing and reporting the success of this legislation is vital. The monitoring exercise presented in this report represents the valuable contribution that NGOs can make. The European Habitats Forum brings together NGOs working to implement the Directives, and represents a wide range of knowledge and expertise on many species and habitat groups as well as experience gained from involvement at the local level. This report will be of use to other European institutions, government ministries and agencies undertaking their own monitoring, assessment and reporting exercises.

It is rich in natural resources including water, wetlands, forests and biodiversity. Managing these resources sustainably is essential to meeting its development objectives of reducing poverty while promoting economic growth. Although the upper Mekong River is internationally recognized as important for biodiversity, including large, endangered migratory fish species such as the Giant Catfish, there is currently very little information about the status of these resources. This report is a synthesis of the findings and key points of discussion drawn from three years (2003–2005) of monitoring and assessment, and identifies key areas of concern that require further monitoring and assessment as well as making recommendations for future work.
