Guidance Report
Biodiversity and Nature
Spring 2026
Our eighth guidance report examines how buildings and real estate have contributed to the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and how those industries can undo that damage with nature-positive solutions. The report will emphasize the importance of aligning climate and biodiversity goals, highlighting the role of nature-based solutions—such as green infrastructure and regenerative design—in enhancing ecosystem resilience and human well-being.
