The natural infrastructure for business online platform went live last month and aims to raise awareness of the business opportunities of investing in ecosystems or natural infrastructure to encourage more action.
Developed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development with consultancy CH2M, the Nature Conservancy and more than 30 companies, the platform outlines the business case for investing in natural infrastructure by demonstrating cost-efficient solutions with compelling co-benefits for society and environment.
It also includes case studies from industries – including agriculture, cement, chemicals, oil and gas, and wastewater treatment – that have used ecosystem services and tools to guide business decision-making, such as a one for cost-benefit analysis.
