UNDP in Asia Pacific is excited to announce the launch of the Business and Biodiversity (BXB) initiative!
Nature underpins roughly three quarters of economic activity across Asia and the Pacific. Yet the drivers of biodiversity loss continue unabated — despite strong government pledges under the Global Biodiversity Framework. Nature is on the backfoot facing weak incentives, uneven political will, data gaps, and transboundary tensions between some countries.
BXB brings business into closer alignment with the region's nature goals, so private-sector activity supports nature rather than undermines it.
