Approaches for assessing business impact on biodiversity are powerful, but often insufficient for strategy design: Study

A University of Oxford study has determined that the widely used tools available to businesses for assessing their biodiversity impacts depend on broad assumptions and can have large uncertainties that are poorly understood or communicated. If used appropriately, they can be powerful tools to help guide effective action to address biodiversity loss—but if not, they can lead to misguided effort and can be insufficient for robust biodiversity strategy design.
