European Commission, DG Environment


The European Commission started the Community of Practice Finance@Biodiversity to integrate biodiversity, the basis of all life, into investment decisions of financial institutions. Several participants share their experiences in a Community of Practice on their activities and investment strategies regarding ecosystems and biodiversity issues. Next to other developments, the EU CoP F@B builds upon experiences from the previous Dutch CoP Financial Institutions & Natural Capital.
