One of the impact areas in UNEP-WCMC's strategy is Nature Economy, where we enable and empower leaders across all sectors of the economy to act for nature.
We support businesses, financial institutions, and governments, to ensure they have the knowledge, tools and capacity to measure and account for their impacts and dependencies on natural capital so they can implement actions towards a nature-positive future.
Fifteen years ago, a ground-breaking alliance between UNEP-WCMC, BirdLife International, Conservation International and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) launched the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT).
This tool integrates data from globally authoritative biodiversity datasets - the World Database on Protected Areas, World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species - into a single portal to support decision-makers from industry, finance and governments.
Today, it continues to be an innovative solution for providing biodiversity information to decision-makers while channeling resources into the underlying datasets.
This post is hosted in the Nature Economy team of UNEP-WCMC, and works full time as part of the IBAT Secretariat supporting IBAT.
