The Next Frontier of Sustainability: Measuring Biodiversity Risk

Carbon, selfishly, has dominated the sustainability conversation for some time. But what about the often-overlooked foundation of everything in our economy: biodiversity. How can you measure that if it’s basically everything? We lay out a plan in this episode, exploring how every business, from agriculture to technology, depends on the health of ecosystems, and how investors can now quantify those connections through innovative data-driven tools. By unpacking the creation of the MSCI Biodiversity Index Screen, the conversation reveals how measuring nature’s complexity can help reduce financial exposure to environmental loss and drive more resilient investment strategies. It’s a deep dive into how markets are beginning to account for the true value of the natural world.
