Sustainable Business: Transformative Change and Nature-Based Solutions To Prioritize Biodiversity In Business

Article Collection in Sustainable Environment

Submission deadline: 24 July 2026

This Article Collection focuses on how businesses can drive transformative change to prioritize biodiversity through nature-based solutions, better monitoring, stronger indicators, and more sustainable business models. It is grounded in the urgent need to address biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation, and the growing responsibility of the private sector to assess, disclose, and reduce biodiversity-related risks and impacts.

The collection emphasizes that biodiversity challenges are deeply connected to land use change, resource use, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. It invites research on how businesses can move toward “Nature Positive” strategies while balancing social, economic, and environmental goals, especially through innovation, circular economy approaches, restoration activities, and stronger alignment with global biodiversity frameworks.

Why this collection matters

The call stresses that biodiversity is now central to business risk, regulation, and strategy, especially because many sectors depend on nature and its services.
