Series: Palgrave Studies in Emerging Risk Management and Sustainable Finance

This book offers a pioneering exploration of the financial, operational, and societal impacts stemming from biodiversity loss and associated ecosystem collapse. In addition, it examines possible venues through which corporations, financial institutions, and regulators can slow down or halt biodiversity loss. The book stands out for its comprehensive coverage, delving into the various facets of biodiversity loss, including its effects across industries, risk assessment strategies, investment opportunities, policy landscapes, corporate responses, and future outlooks. Unlike prior publications in this area, this book bridges theory and practice by grounding its content in real-world examples and case studies, illustrating how biodiversity loss directly affects industries, economies, and financial systems globally.

Structured strategically, this edited collection guides readers through a logical progression of topics, starting from understanding the fundamentals of biodiversity loss to exploring its implications in different sectors, assessing risks, identifying investment opportunities, navigating policy landscapes, and learning from successful case studies. Each chapter incorporates clear explanations, illustrative examples, data-driven analyses, and actionable recommendations, making the content accessible and relevant to a diverse audience including students, educators, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and concerned citizens.
