The Role of Biodiversity Footprinting Within the Nature‐Related Assessment, Disclosure, and Target‐Setting Landscape
As awareness of business–nature interdependencies grows, organizations face increasing demands to assess and manage their nature‐related value chain impacts. Policies, standards, frameworks, and metrics are emerging to support impact measurement, disclosure, and target‐setting. However, this largely voluntary and evolving landscape remains fragmented, with limited methodological consensus, raising concerns that corporate strategies may prioritize…
From carbon-neutral to nature-positive higher education institutions
Purpose Carbon footprint assessments have been mainstreamed, but not all organizations follow international protocols when making carbon neutrality claims. Biodiversity footprinting in organizations is a new arrival, and even organizations such as higher education institutions (HEIs) are largely yet to understand how to measure and address biodiversity footprints. Biodiversity footprint assessment helps organizations to identify their impacts on …
Ambitious forest biodiversity conservation under scarce public funds
Biodiversity impact of the consumption of peat and wood-fired district heating
A shift from fossil fuels to biofuels is becoming an increasingly important part of national and corporate climate strategies, but the biodiversity impacts of biofuels are often ignored and remain poorly understood. Here we developed a novel eight-step general framework for the assessment of consumption-based biodiversity impacts of biofuels and applied the framework to assess the biodiversity impacts of peat and wood-fired district heating in Fi…
Planetary well-being
Tensions between the well-being of present humans, future humans, and nonhuman nature manifest in social protests and political and academic debates over the future of Earth. The increasing consumption of natural resources no longer increases, let alone equalises, human well-being, but has led to the current ecological crisis and harms both human and nonhuman well-being. While the crisis has been acknowledged, the existing conceptual frameworks a…
Quantifying trade-offs between ecological gains, economic costs, and landowners’ preferences in boreal mire protection
Private land often encompasses biodiversity features of high conservation value, but its protection is not straightforward. Commonly, landowners’ perspectives are rightfully allowed to influence conservation actions. This unlikely comes without consequences on biodiversity or other aspects such as economic considerations, but these consequences are rarely quantitatively considered in decision-making. In the context of boreal mire protection in Fi…
No evidence of systematic pre-emptive loggings after notifying landowners of their lands’ conservation potential
Landowners can intentionally impair biodiversity values occurring on their land to pre-empt biodiversity protection. This often leads to significant negative effects on biodiversity. We studied whether landowners in Finland engaged in pre-emptive loggings after they were notified that their wooded mires are candidate sites for a mire protection program. After the notification, harvesting rates of the candidate wooded mires were significantly lowe…
How to halt the global decline of lands
The assessment of land degradation and restoration by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services shows that land degradation across the globe is a wide and severe issue and is showing no signs of slowing down. This trend must be halted and reversed
Can green infrastructure help to conserve biodiversity
The gradually decreasing connectivity of habitats threatens biodiversity and ecological processes valuable to humans. Green infrastructure is promoted by the European Commission as a key instrument for the conservation of ecosystems in the EU biodiversity strategy to 2020. Green infrastructure has been defined as a network of natural and semi-natural areas, designed and managed to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services. We surveyed Finnish ex…
