Yes, you can link it, for example with the rhino bonds. But what I am looking for is evidence that improving biodiversity is good for business, either by reducing costs, improving margins, increase growth or the like.
I would venture to guess that you can only improve biodiversity by creating well-functioning and healthy ecosystems, so I view improving biodiversity as a general term for improving the environment that supports us. Have you heard of the work being done by the Intrinsic Exchange Group? They're trying to put a price on ecosystem services and create a new asset class for Natural Asset Companies. Have a look if you're interested.
Could something like the rhino bonds be used to link the biodiversity goal to financial incentives?
