Biodiversity information pathways

Reliable nature data and information are essential to produce accurate natural capital accounts and life cycle assessments and better understand the trade-offs between public and private sector actor activities and biodiversity.

The A-Track team has conducted an assessment of the nature information required and the current state-of-play for different businesses, financial institutions and public sector decision makers. Following this initial assessment, demonstration cases are in development, focusing on how accounting structures and principles can help public and private sector actors access the nature-related data they need for decision-making.

The goal of this needs assessment is to describe the nature information required for different decision-making contexts across the public and private sectors, with associated suitable data characteristics required to produce these information sets.
