Biodiversity and Biotechnology
Biodiversity loss affects the ability of ecosystems to provide essential services for the well-being and prosperity of life on earth.
About
The reduction of biodiversity causes profound impacts for life on Earth, such as the spread of diseases, water and food shortages, increased temperature on the planet and loss of quality of life. Brazil stands out for being the country with the greatest biological diversity, having between 15% and 20% of the world's biodiversity. Therefore, CEBDS develops several engagement initiatives with governments and companies to drive the transition to a green economy, with clean jobs, technological and production innovation, preservation of biomes, new economic opportunities and other means of guaranteeing the quality and prosperity of the life on Earth.
Goals
- Provide information, guidance, products and tools that help companies identify opportunities and minimize risks in the area of biodiversity and biotechnology.
- Represent in debates, in a proactive and qualified manner, the vision of companies on issues related to biodiversity and biotechnology, and formulate public policies with governments and other participation forums.
- Disseminate best practices, demonstrating to society in general, in a simple and understandable way, the contribution of companies to the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity, as well as to the ethical and responsible use of biotechnology.
- Stimulate sustainability in associated companies, through projects and partnerships in the area of biodiversity and biotechnology, which generate concrete results.
