Then this new e-learning that teaches you the biodiversity basics is for you. The Biodiversity Working Group has developed an e-learning tool on the biodiversity basics that can be done from anywhere, on any device, on the go. The e-learning is easily shareable, contains high quality content and provides an overview of all the basics of biodiversity in one tool.

Financial institutions face risks due to the decline of biodiversity. However, there are also opportunities for financial institutions to conserve and restore biodiversity. This e-learning not only makes you aware of the biodiversity basics - what biodiversity is, why it is important and why financial institutions should act on biodiversity. It also teaches you the five biggest drivers of biodiversity loss. It helps to understand why biodiversity is relevant for financial institutions and businesses. It enables you to see the impact of biodiversity - it delivers ecosystem services and its relevance for our entire economy - and it guides you in the actions you can take as a financial institution to reverse biodiversity loss.

After completing this e-learning you will be equipped to become an advocate for biodiversity action in your own organisation and role. Are you ready to dive into the topic? Click on the tool and get started now!
