| Abstract: | The article focuses on the emerging field of biodiversity finance, emphasizing the need to integrate biodiversity considerations into financial decision-making and corporate reporting. It discusses the dual role of economic activities in both impacting biodiversity and relying on ecosystem services, highlighting the concept of double materiality, which encompasses both impact and financial materiality. The article notes a significant gap in reliable data and methodologies for assessing biodiversity risks in corporate contexts, despite increasing regulatory pressures and investor interest. It calls for collaborative efforts among policymakers, researchers, and financial market actors to enhance data availability and develop frameworks that effectively incorporate biodiversity into financial risk analyses.
