Comparative analysis of biodiversity measurement approaches for public development banks

This study provides a comparative analysis of biodiversity measurement tools for Public Development Banks (PDBs). The aim is to evaluate the accessibility and the added value of six predefined biodiversity measurement tools used across nine PDB-funded projects. The results highlight the tools’ performance in quantifying biodiversity impacts and dependencies, offering insights into their potential use in project selection, monitoring, and risk mitigation.

This work is part of a research project funded by the ECOPRONAT research programme, which supports research on how to better take into account biodiversity and mainstream it into key economic sectors.
