Brazilian Business and Biodiversity Initiative

Following on the development of the Global Partnership for Business and Biodiversity, and motivated by the work of various global initiatives that have managed to promote the the international agenda on biodiversity to the private sector and in different countries, three organizations in Brazil joined efforts for the creation of the Brazilian Business and Biodiversity Platform:

• CNI – Confederation of Industries in Brazil
• CEBDS – Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development
• LIFE Institute

The Platform’s main objective is to provide an inclusive space where information can be provided to further business sector engagement, opening a channel for different initiatives and organizations to share the work they are developing in which biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources have a strategic role. The Platform should also help to further the cooperation and engagement of the business sector in Brazil in this area.

Facilitating access to information regarding global discussions and decisions related to biodiversity is also one of the Platform’s goal. It should also enable the exchange of experiences, best practices, case studies, tools, research, and events related to B&B.
