How can the financial sector change course towards investing in ways that benefit and strengthen biodiversity? Having identified this as a research area in need of funding, Mistra is therefore working on a forthcoming call for research proposals, preliminarily planned to open this autumn. As part of Mistra’s research initiation process, an international expert group was commissioned to write a background report on the area: Aligning Markets with Biodiversity. The background paper, Aligning Markets with Biodiversity, was released in conjunction with the Mistra Dialogue webinar The Missing Link — Biodiversity and our Financial System on 23 June.
