MISTRA Finance to Revive Biodiversity (FinBio) is a partnership between academic and financial actors to create a platform designed for real-world impact. In the program, we will test and analyze different ways of measuring and describing biodiversity and how it is connected to finance. We currently see an increased interest in corporate biodiversity monitoring and a wide range of methods are now available for assessing impact. However, there is no single metric that captures biodiversity or how it relates to people. In order to understand how changes in biodiversity impact financial systems we need to understand how social-ecological interactions shape biodiversity and, in turn, how changes in biodiversity impact human wellbeing and economic activity with knock-on effects on the financial system. In work package 1 of the program, led by Fredrik Ronquist (NRM), Emma Granqvist (NRM) and Mats Töpel (IVL) we will explore the potential of environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques to track and map biodiversity change in ways that produce open source data to inform financial decisions. We will collect data but also further analyze data collected in the Insect Biome Atlas project. The work is funded by MISTRA during 2022-2026 with possible extension for 4 more years.
