Accelerating transformation for nature
A-Track is a four-year, €11 million project that will accelerate business, finance, and government action for nature.
A-Track will create robust and reliable resources, tailored to the needs of key decision makers. It will support the flows of biodiversity information for use in business, finance and government decisions.
A-Track will strengthen consideration of biodiversity and ecosystem services in life cycle assessment for products and organisations. It will mainstream and advance natural capital assessment and accounting across society.
Other A-Track outputs will facilitate the adoption and scaling of business models that contribute to nature positive outcomes. The project will also nurture financial innovations that contribute to nature positive outcomes.
A-Track brings together leading thought leaders and practitioners who have been driving change in the measurement and valuation of natural capital and biodiversity in business, finance and government.
The project is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe programme with co-funding from UK Research and Innovation and the Swiss National Science Foundation.
