The global renewable energy transition is gathering pace. In offshore wind, annual additions are expected to triple by 2028 from 2023 levels, in line with the climate COP28 Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency pledge. This expansion must also align with the Global Biodiversity Framework goal to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. As development proliferates, there is a clear need for timely and coordinated spatial planning that balances climate goals with the need to minimise impacts on people and biodiversity.

Research with University of Oxford study has determined that the widely used tools available to businesses for assessing their biodiversity impacts depend on broad assumptions and can have large uncertainties that are poorly understood or communicated. If used appropriately, they can be powerful tools to help guide effective action to address biodiversity loss – but if not, they can lead to misguided effort and can be insufficient for robust biodiversity strategy design.
Many corporate leaders have said, “Our company wants to invest in nature recovery, but we don’t know where to start.”
To address this challenge, The Biodiversity Consultancy and the University of Oxford have come together for a joint research initiative. This work aims to provide companies with a clear framework, helping them navigate investment decisions that contribute to global nature positive goals.
Due to the acceleration of the renewable energy transition globally, the demand for aluminium has been growing rapidly, contributing to increased bauxite mining. This could potentially put biodiversity across the sector's value chain at risk, especially at a time when global biodiversity is in decline. Biodiversity frameworks become critical in maintaining sustainability efforts and ensuring responsible supply chain management.
Collaborative research highlights gaps and opportunities in corporate biodiversity commitments.
