In January 2010 the European Business and Biodiversity Campaign supported by the EU LIFE+ Programme was initiated. The main objectives of this communication campaign which is led by the Global Nature Fund are:
• Improve the awareness and understanding among corporate decision makers about impacts of business operations and about business opportunities in relation to biodiversity conservation.
• Promote biodiversity partnerships between business, NGOs and other stakeholders.
• Improve the quality of biodiversity partnerships between business, NGOs and other stakeholders.
• Provide information about existing Business and Biodiversity Initiatives such as the EU Business and Biodiversity Initiative/Technical Platform, IUCN Countdown 2010, Germany’s Business and Biodiversity Initiative and other national and regional initiatives.
• Disseminate information and demonstrate methodologies and tools that help businesses to assess and mitigate their impacts on biodiversity.
• Refinement of the global challenge of loss of biodiversity to the local level and motivation and support of concrete action at local and regional level by SMEs.
