IPBES Business and Biodiversity Assessment
CBS invitest you to join the academic discussion forum to stimulate research and higher education ideas that can contribute to the advancing knowledge on the complex problem of integrating biodiversity into decision-making and actions within organisations.
Addressing biodiversity in business requires a number of research methods and disciplinary approaches. In addition to the research element, as higher education educators we face new challenges in integrating biodiversity and other environmental aspects into our curricula.
This meeting will have as focus the recently released IPBES Business and Biodiversity Assessment.
"Businesses Can Either Lead Transformative Change or Risk Extinction - All Businesses Depend on and Impact Nature"
Every business depends on biodiversity, and every business impacts biodiversity. The growth of the global economy has been at the cost of immense biodiversity loss, which now poses a critical and pervasive systemic risk to the economy, financial stability and human wellbeing. This is a central finding of the landmark new report published in February 2026 by the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).
Join us and our guest speaker, CBS Associate Professor Justine Grønbæk Pors as we discuss the findings of the report and the potential action and impact on business education and business practices.
Through these monthly online ‘coffee’ meetings we hope to stimulate debate and share experiences that can enhance our cumulative contributions to this important field of action.
This event series is part of CBS' engagement in Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).
