The Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (BIP) is a global initiative that brings together international organisations to develop and promote indicators for monitoring and assessing biodiversity trends. Established in 2006, the BIP aims to provide reliable information on biodiversity status and trends to support decision-making processes.

The primary target audience of the BIP includes policymakers, environmental organisations, researchers, and other stakeholders involved in biodiversity conservation and management. By offering a suite of indicators, the BIP assists these groups in tracking progress towards biodiversity targets and formulating informed policies.

For finance professionals, the BIP’s indicators are valuable tools for assessing environmental risks and opportunities associated with biodiversity. Incorporating these indicators into financial analyses can enhance the evaluation of investments, particularly in sectors where biodiversity impacts are significant. Understanding biodiversity trends is crucial for managing risks related to environmental degradation and for identifying opportunities in sustainable investments. The BIP’s resources support finance professionals in aligning investment strategies with environmental sustainability goals, thereby contributing to responsible financial decision-making.
